Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) process standardized in Poland

In July, the Polish Committee for Standardization adopted the international standard ISO 14034: 2016 Environmental management - Environmental technology verification (ETV) as Polish Norm.

The ISO 14034:2016 standard, published in November 2016, is the first international technical standard ensuring a harmonized approach to confirming the performance of environmental technologies. It  takes into account their technical efficiency as well as their innovation and environmental benefits that result from their use. The aim of standardizing the ETV process is to facilitate a global recognition of the Statements of Verification and thus  help build  credibility of information on the performance of innovative environmental technologies to create a level play field for ecoinnovations on domestic and foreign markets.

In July this year The Polish Committee for Standardization has adopted the international standard ISO 14034:2016 Environmental management - Environmental technology verification (ETV) as a national standard.

JWTŚ-IETU has already obtained accreditation to perform ETV of innovative environmental technologies in water and wastewater sector  in accordance to the ISO  14034 standardized process.

Statements of Verification issued by our Verification Body allow our clients to compete more effectively on the domestic market and foreign markets, e.g. American or Asian - emphasizes Izabela Ratman-Kłosińska, Manager of JWTŚ-IETU. -  For technology buyers, the ETV Statement of Verification must be a trustful source of information on which they can base their purchase decisions. We ensure this by conducting verifications according to the highest standards of quality and impartiality and by applying an ISO standardized procedures - adds Ratman-Kłosińska.
