ETV serves a broad group of customers, including state regulators, EPA program offices and regions, municipalities, vendors, trade organizations, and others. These customers collaborate with the ETV program to jointly fund or provide in-kind support for verification testing. Collaborative support may include such things as funding, field testing, analytical services, outreach, and testing locations. This support from collaborators, combined with their technical input, helps raise the quality and relevance of ETV information. Program personnel, verification organizations, and stakeholders work together to identify mutually beneficial collaborations. As a result, program cost-share by vendors and collaborators has increased to more than 50 percent. More importantly, ETV has been able to confirm that its collaborators have used ETV information to support technology decisions and regulatory development.
The ETV program has engaged in the following collaborations to provide high-quality performance information to technology end-users:
