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.
