Environmental Technology Verification Program

ETV Canada is the independent verification organization which manages Canada’s Environmental Technology Verification Program under a license agreement with Environment Canada. ETV Canada offers a reliable assessment process for verifying the environmental performance claims associated with projects and programs, as well as technologies and technological processes.

ETV verification provides the marketplace with the assurance that environmental performance claims are valid, credible and supported by quality independent test data and information. To make ETV Canada more relevant to stakeholders, a comprehensive 3-part strategy for ETV Canada has been implemented consisting of:

1. Technology Verification

• working closely with technology innovators and qualified verification organizations

2. Performance Benchmarking

• based on the development of credible stakeholder-driven performance criteria and the transparent reporting of performance information

3. International Harmonization of Protocols and Test Methods

• building on the established ETV Generic Test Protocol and related decision-support tools

For more information on ETV Canada's involvement in these three core areas, view the Status of Activities and Projects page.
