Verification Testing of Air Pollution Control Technology: Quality Management Plan. Revision 2.2

摘要

This quality management plan (QMP) applies to RTI International's (RTI's) Air Pollution Control Technology Verification Center (APCT Center) operated under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Cooperative Agreement CR-831911-01. The APCT Center was established in 1995 as part of the EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program to accelerate the development and commercialization of improved environmental technologies through third-party verification testing and reporting on the tested technologies' performance. The APCT Center verifies the environmental performance of commercial-ready technologies in collaboration with qualified testing organizations (TOs). Verification provides potential purchasers and permitters with an independent and credible assessment of what they are buying and permitting. Verification testing is performed according to approved protocols. A technology's verified performance is reported in verification statements signed by EPA.
