ACT verifications are based on an evaluation of technology performance under specific, agreed-upon
protocols, criteria, and quality assurance procedures. ACT and its Partner Institutions do not certify that a
technology will always operate as verified and make no expressed or implied guarantee as to the performance
of the technology or that a technology will always, or under circumstances other than those used in testing,
operate at the levels verified. ACT does not seek to determine regulatory compliance; does not rank
technologies nor compare their performance; does not label or list technologies as acceptable or unacceptable;
and does not seek to determine “best available technology” in any form. The end user is solely responsible
for complying with any and all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
This document has been peer reviewed by ACT Partner Institutions and a technology-specific
advisory committee and was recommended for public release. Mention of trade names or commercial
products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation by ACT for use.
