EPA/NSF ETV PACKAGE DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PILOT-QUALIFYING FIELD TESTING ORGANIZATIONS NSF International (NSF) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program is requesting interested organizations with experience in conducting studies of package drinking water treatment plants to apply for qualification to conduct verification testing or evaluation of existing data. The purpose of this request is to provide a list of Field Testing Organizations qualified to conduct verification studies under the EPA/NSF ETV pilot to Manufacturers that would like their equipment tested under the project. The EPA entered into a cooperative agreement with NSF to develop, organize and pilot a program on the verification of package drinking water treatment plant performance. This pilot is part of the EPA's Office of Research and Development ETV program. More information on the ETV pilot is available on the NSF web site (http://www.nsf.org/html/verification.html) and the EPA web site (http://www.epa.gov/etv). The EPA web site also has information about the ETV program strategy and other pilots. To obtain an application package, which includes the criteria for qualification as a Field Testing Organization, Terms and Conditions for Field Testing Organizations, and an application, please contact Carol Becker by phone ((313) 769-5394), facsimile ((313) 769-0109) or e-mail (becker@nsf.org).
