Verified Retrofit Technologies
The list below provides information on the emission reduction performance as verified by the EPA. By inclusion, EPA does not guarantee any performance or claims by the manufacturer, and the assigned reduction levels are only applicable when the technology is installed and used in accordance with the criteria described. EPA verification is not an evaluation of a product's safety or compliance with other regulatory requirements. Manufacturers, installers, fleets and operators must comply with all applicable local, state and federal safety regulations.
