EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established in December 1970 by the executive order of President Richard Nixon. It is an agency of the United States federal government whose mission is to protect human and environmental health. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the EPA is responsible for creating standards and laws promoting the health of individuals and the environment.

EPA manages several programs that certify technicians, service locations, laboratories or products. The page contains an automatically-generated list of EPA webpages that include the word “certification” in the title. Entries are listed with the most recently updated pages at the top.

NOTE: Some certification programs are delegated to state authorities and/or authorized testing organizations. If you do not find the information you need below, please reach out to your state authority. 

EPA works to ensure that:

• Americans have clean air, land and water;
• National efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information;
• Federal laws protecting human health and the environment are administered and enforced fairly, effectively and as Congress intended;
