Practical International ETV Cooperation
Final AdvanceETV Conference, Brussels, May 2012
The global challenges require new technologies in operation
What are the barriers?
Recognised performance
label
Purchaser caution
National and regional
legislation
Lists of approved
technologies
Lack of documen-
tation
Trade barriers
What performance label?
China
One performance label!
How to get there?
ETV ISO
China
Practical ways of cooporating – towards one performance label• One European performance label
– The EU ETV pilot programme
• Building confidence and mutual understanding– International Working Group (IWG ETV) for programme
owners– Bilateral cooperations
• Sharing knowledge– Virtual forum for verification and test bodies
• Verification cooperation– Co- and joint verifications
• Making methods of ETV work converge– Preparation of an international ETV standard
• Disseminating ETV– ASEAN ETV initiative
ASEAN ETV Initiative
• Objective is to promote cooperation on ETV within the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
• Driven by ETV Philippines
• ASEAN participation at 4th International ETV Forum and the International Working Group on ETV Meeting, November 2009, in Manila, Philippines
• ASEAN ETV Workshop 2010o Participation of seven ASEAN member states (participation by
Malaysia, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, and the ASEAN Secretariat based in Indonesia)
• DANETV ETV Philippines proposal in preparation
Co- and joint verifications

Virtual ETV operator network – one approach • Objective
o Enhance cooperation between the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) operators of the World
o An increased number of co- and joint verifications o Exchange information on vendors and technologies with ETV potentialo Extended cooperation between the existing operators
• Intended participantso ETV operators
• One formo Monthly virtual meeting based upon Skype or WebEx. o Agenda
− Mutual information on on-going verifications
− Exchange of data of technology candidates for cooperation
− Conveying of contact information between technology owner and ETV operator on cooperation candidates
− Information on preparation of generic verification protocols and other tools of mutual interest and status of the ETV programmes
• We invite all ETV operators to participate, registration by e-mail til [email protected]
Bilateral Cooperations
• Exchange of information on organization and operation of ETV programmes– e.g. NOWATECH, the precursor of DANETV, learning from the US ETV and ETV Canada
programmes through meetings and visits
• Dissemination of verification protocols and reports and the inherent methodologies– e.g. the US ETV publication on the web
• Verification cooperation– e.g. co- and joint verifications performed by DANETV, the US and the Canadian ETV
programmes, and translation/transfer of verifications from Japan to the Philippines
• Enhancing ETV interests through participation of other ETV programmes in meetings and discussions
– e.g. DANETV participating in an ETV Philippines event, other ETV programmes represented at events organised by Advance ETV in support of the EU ETV
• Specific cooperation projects, – e.g. ETV Philippines and DANETV proposing to ASEAN to develop a model for cooperation
between ETV programmes in industrialised and developing countries, and DANETV preparing cooperation models for use in co- and joint verification with China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines
Bilateral cooperations – the essentials

Conclusions
• ETV is expanding globally
• Initiatives for bilateral, regional and global cooperation are expanding
• Tools and methods are being developed and shared to an increasing extent
• The challenge is NOT to end up with: verified everywhere to be accepted globally
• Opportunities for cross-border verifications do exist – seize them to expand your markets!
