- To facilitate the implementation of public policies and regulations by providing

citizens, regulators and decision makers with solid information on the level of
performance achievable by new eco-technologies ready for the market (EU ETV
Pre-program, 2013).

The EU ETV pilot program will initially cover only some environmental technology
areas such as water treatment and monitoring; materials, wastes and resources; and
energy technologies. It will be carried out by volunteering Member States, allowing
for verified environmental technologies from all parts of the EU.
The AdvanceETV project, sponsored by the European Commission FP7 coordi-
nation action (2009-2012), gathered vendors interested in joint verification under
US, Canadian and European programs (EU ETV, 2013). The objective was to receive
joint verifications from three programs at once. AdvanceETV has helped develop a
framework for international harmonization and mutual recognition on ETV systems
in order to ease the access to international markets for environmental technologies, in
particular by drafting a framework for joint and co-verification at an international level
tested on real verifications with US, Canada and EU. The documents “ETV Framework
and Policy'' and “ETV Procedure'' are used for the development of a new ISO-ETV
standard.
