ISO 14034 discusses environmental management with a focus on environmental technology verification (ETV). ISO 14034 specifies principles, procedures, and requirements for environmental technology verification (ETV).
ETV provides an independent and impartial confirmation of the performance of an environmental technology based on reliable test data. ETV aims to strengthen the credibility of new, innovative technologies by supporting informed decision-making among interested parties.
ISO 14034 on ETV for environmental management is useful for:
The objective of environmental technology verification (ETV) is to provide credible, reliable and
independent verification of the performance of environmental technologies. Environmental technology is a technology that either results in an environmental added value or measures parameters that indicate an environmental impact. Such technologies have an increasingly important role in addressing environmental challenges and achieving sustainable development.
ISO 14034 specifies environmental technology verification that provides a credible and impartial account of the performance of environmental technologies. Environmental technology verification is based on a number of principles to ensure that verifications are performed and reported accurately, clearly, unambiguously, and objectively.
