Overview of the Verification Process for Clean Diesel Technology

The verification process for Clean Diesel technology evaluates the performance and durability of retrofits submitted by manufacturers.

This process:

Provides users with confidence that the technology will perform as expected;
Includes a thorough review of the technology with any supporting test data;
Quantifies levels of emission reductions and conditions that must be met for technologies to achieve those reductions; and
Identifies engine operating criteria.

There are four parts to the process:
