Experience with accreditation process • Applied for accreditation 26 of April.Achieved accreditation 3rd of March. • Too long process • Ecoxy lost contracts because we had not achieved accreditation. Most contracts achieved in autumn. • Lack of a good accreditation plan. New requirements for site visit late autumn. Slowed down process. • Site visits and visit at office well performed. Clear and good feedback. • Used technical expert from Miljødirektoratet at one site visit – should be avoided
Experience Miljødirektoratet • Had some contact regarding AVR and MRR. • We were uncertain on some issues. The feedback from Mdir could have been more clear. • Verification report template should be translated to Norwegian. • Monitoring plans • Some plants got “strong” demands and others less strong demands – not consistent (in our opinion) • Especially regarding calibration/control of measurement instruments • Nice if Mdir could publish • Emissions per plant • Verifier per plant MarineAcoustics Underwater Noise
Ecoxy verification • Verification team of 3 persons.More personnel available within Ecoxy and NorskEnergi. • Verified 24 plants • Mostly plant with small emissions, some larger. • Few offshore, many industry sites and “Fjernvarmeanlegg” • Almost impossible for us to get contracts with larger companies.

Ecoxy verificationprocess • First contact by mail and phone calls. • Acquire documents; MP, procedures etc. • Strategic analysis • Risk analysis • Verification plan • Site visit • Process analysis • Verification report MarineAcoustics Underwater Noise
Ecoxy verificationprocess • Main findings first year. • Many had poor/lack of written procedures and control activities. • not so easy to verify their activities. • Many had insufficient knowledge about the MRR. • Insufficient control/check of measurement instruments. • Some ordered verification late – lack of time.
