  1. Showcasing Ireland’s Water & Waste Water Research What is ETV? Ian Walker – Innovation Director, WRc plc

  2. WRc–Innovation is our business Waste management Supply chain - €1.0 million Water Utilities £8-10 million research based consultancy €10-12million €2 million pa collaborative research programme Regulators & Policy Makers Innovation through Collaboration 120 staff 87 year history - 25 years as plc

  3. Where does ETV come from? BE, CZ, DK, FI, FR, PL and UK

  4. What is ETV? • EU wide scheme with global reach • Independent verification of performance claims • Proof statement to support and accelerate market entry Environmental Technology Verification

  5. ETV PILOT - Criteria http://iet.jrc.ec.europa.eu/etv/about-etv

  6. Verification Bodies • 8 European organisations. • UK: WRc and NPL|CCM • Plus: CEMC (CZ), DS Certificering (DK), LNE (FR) Certiquality (IT), ITP Poznan (PL), Rescoll (FR)

  7. So what is in scope? Water Treatment Technologies Natural waters Saline waters Drinking water Industrial wastewater Municipal wastewater Surface water runoff Filtration Separation Disinfection Oxidation Desalination Adsorption Microbial Chemical Physical Small / large scale Temporary / permanent

  8. So what is in scope? Water Monitoring Technologies Natural waters Saline waters Drinking water Industrial wastewater Municipal wastewater Surface water runoff Quality: Microbial Chemical Physical Volume / flow / level Sensors Analysers Handheld Test kits

  9. So what is in scope? Materials Waste and Resources • Materials recycling • Waste recovery • Protection of natural Resources • Re-use of materials • Recycling waste into construction materials • Separation/sorting techniques for solid waste • Recycling of batteries, accumulators and chemicals • Reduction of mercury contamination from solid waste • Products made of biomass

  10. How does it work?

  11. What’s different about ETV? • The starting point is the technology performance claimed by the manufacturer and its features, not pre-defined criteria or standards like in certification schemes. • The end result is not a label on a product but a detailed ‘Statement of Verification’ for use in business-to-business activities. • The 'Statement of Verification' can be used as evidence that the claims made about the innovation are both credible and scientifically sound.

  12. How long and how much? 6 months €10,000 – 20,000 Testing - ??? 12 months

  13. ISSUES Can I do my own tests? When should I apply? Will it become an EU regulation? How much !!! Do the buyers demand it? Can I get € help? c
