 Verification Protocols

Verification protocols promoted uniform controlled testing for a class or category of technologies. They may have retained draft status until the testing was performed and were then finalized by building on the testing experience. In some cases, documentation of a robust test protocol allowed for the development of an abbreviated test/quality assurance plan, which incorporated the verification protocol by reference.

Please select from the list of ETV verification centers to view verification protocols. For each center, you may also select to view a list by category for more detailed selection criteria.

In addition to these current verification centers, ETV also verified technologies in other areas that have been terminated or transferred to other organizations.
