新出现的污染物和随之而来的监管要求导致 需要安装缺乏历史性能数据的新处理技术。整齐 监管机构批准这些新技术的设计和安装， 制造商必须能够为其产品提供独立的第三方验证 性能声明和系统设计以及安装的系统性能需要 通过批准的现场调试研究进行验证。 为满足国家对微小隐孢子虫的控制要求 第2阶段长期强化地表水处理规则（LT2ESWTR）和 第2阶段消毒剂的消毒副产物减少要求和 消毒副产品规则（DBPR），许多水处理机构已经开始设计和实施 建设紫外线照明设施。虽然紫外线已经成功地应用于 过去15年的废水处理设施，lamp的新发展 技术和反应堆设计，以及水和水之间的水质差异 废水防止将历史废水性能数据转换为 饮用水领域。因此，这些饮用水系统将需要大量的水 测试水平，以证明其符合制造商关于剂量的声明 交付、过程控制、系统可靠性和长期性能。 NSF国际（NSF）与美国环境保护署合作 美国环保局（USEPA）提供饮用水的独立性能评估 通过他们的环境技术验证（ETV）计划获得技术。这个 该项目的目的是加速技术进入商业领域 为消费者提供经过市场验证的产品评估结果。这 因此，该程序可作为制造商的独立第三方验证 性能索赔。美国环保局目前正在制定紫外线消毒指南 在紫外线系统的设计、测试和操作方面提供帮助的手册 符合饮用水消毒要求。因此，ETV的意图 课程和指导手册似乎是互补的。ETV节目是 设计用于作为制造商性能的独立第三方验证 而美国环保局指南手册将提供验证 现场特定的系统设计和安装的系统性能。本文讨论了如何直接比较和修改ETV计划和指导手册的详细规范，以确保一致性和一致性。 包括表格，数字。

Emerging pollutants and attendant regulatory control requirements have resulted in the need to install new treatment technologies that lack historical performance data. In order for regulatory agencies to approve the design and installation of these new technologies, manufacturers must be able to provide independent third-party verification of their performance claims and the system design and installed system performance needs to be validated through an approved field commissioning study. In order to meet the control requirements specified for Cryptosporidium parvum in the Stage 2 Long-Term Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) and the disinfection byproduct reduction requirements of the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR), many water agencies have begun design and construction of UV light facilities. Although UV light has been successfully used in wastewater treatment facilities for the past fifteen years, new developments in lamp technology and reactor design, and water quality differences between water and wastewater prevent the translation of historical wastewater performance data to the drinking water field. Therefore, these drinking water systems will require a significant level of testing in order to demonstrate that they fulfill manufacturers' claims about dose delivery, process control, system reliability, and long-term performance. NSF International (NSF), in partnership with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) provides independent performance evaluations of drinking water technologies through their Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program. The purpose of this program is to accelerate a technology's entrance into the commercial marketplace by providing consumers with verified results of product evaluations. This program therefore functions as an independent third-party verification of manufacturer performance claims. The USEPA is presently developing a UV Disinfection Guidance Manual to provide assistance in the design, testing, and operation of UV systems for compliance with drinking water disinfection requirements. Thus, the intent of the ETV Program and the Guidance Manual appear to be complimentary. The ETV Program is designed to serve as an independent third-party verification of manufacturer performance claims while the USEPA Guidance Manual will provide the protocols for validation of site-specific system design and installed system performance. This paper discusses how the detailed specifications of the ETV Program and the Guidance Manual were directly compared and modified for consistency and congruency. Includes table, figures.
