For OGS, the ISO 14034 verification process in Canada consists of two parts:

# Third party laboratory testing of MTDs in accordance with the [https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/home/urban-runoff-green-infrastructure/conventional-stormwater-management/hydrodynamic-separators/procedure-for-laboratory-testing-of-oil-grit-separators/ TRCA’s Procedure for Laboratory Testing of Oil Grit Separators] and associated bulletins, and

# Third party verification of the test in accordance with the [https://etvcanada.ca/home/verify-your-technology/ISO 14034 ETV standard].

# Third party verification of the test in accordance with the [https://etvcanada.ca/home/verify-your-technology/ ISO 14034 ETV standard].

The ISO 14034 verification process is currently administered by [https://etvcanada.ca/home/contact/ Globe Performance Solutions and Verify Global]. Completed ISO 14034 verification statements for OGS are posted to the [https://etvcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ISO-14034-Verification-Statement-_Stormceptor_EF-EFO_2020-2023.pdf former Canadian ETV website, here].

The ISO 14034 verification process is currently administered by [https://etvcanada.ca/home/contact/ Globe Performance Solutions and Verify Global]. Completed ISO 14034 verification statements for OGS are posted to the [https://etvcanada.ca/home/verify-your-technology/current-verified-technologies/ website, here].

Note that ISO 14034 verification is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for approval agencies using the ISO/ETV process for technology acceptance.  The technology must also be classified as an Oil Grit Separator (i.e. not include a filter) for the [https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2013/06/ETV-OGS-Procedure_final_revised-June_2014.pdf Procedure for Laboratory Testing of OGS] to have been properly applied. [https://etvcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ETV-Bulletin-CETV-2022-02-0001_final.pdf This ETV Bulletin] helps to provide clarification on this requirement: See table below for a list of current ISO 14034 verified OGS MTDs.

# '''Light liquid capture and retention test''':  An optional test in which beads with a density similar to motor oil are pre-loaded into the unit and the number of beads in the effluent are measured to assess the capacity of the unit to trap and retain light liquids.

There are currently eight OGS vendors with ISO 14034 verifications (as shown in the [[Oil and Grit Separator#Testing and Verification|table]] above). The list of manufacturers and test results of all OGS products and other verified technologies can be found [https://etvcanada.ca/home/verify-your-technology/current-verified-technologies/ here]. Sediment removal performance results were relatively consistent across different MTD designs, with slightly more variation at higher surface loading rates (see Graph below). <br>

==Sizing==

It is recommended that a standard sizing approach be used for all OGS units to ensure they are evaluated based on a consistent methodology. The attached OGS Review Calculator has been developed to facilitate application of ISO 14034 ETV test data through a standard approach applicable to all OGS MTD designs. The following methods and processes are built into the tool:<br>

'''Rational Method''' used as a basis for flow calculations:<br>

 

It is recommended that a standard sizing approach be used for all OGS units to ensure they are evaluated based on a consistent methodology. See a screenshot of STEP's '''''OGS Review Sheet''''', which has been developed to facilitate application of ISO 14034 ETV test data through a standard approach applicable to all OGS MTD designs. Click the button below to download an excel version of the tool:

The following methods and processes are built into the tool:<br>

*'''Rational Method''' used as a basis for flow calculations:<br>

* Target treatment is based on capture and treatment of the average annual runoff volume for the site using ISO 14034 verified sediment removal test results for 7 surface loading rates

* Target treatment is based on capture and treatment of the average annual runoff volume for the site using ISO 14034 verified sediment removal test results for 7 surface loading rates

* Linear interpolation is used to calculate sediment removal efficiencies between the ISO/ETV tested surface loading rates

* Linear interpolation is used to calculate sediment removal efficiencies between the ISO/ETV tested surface loading rates

* Surface loading rates below the lowest ISO/ETV tested surface loading rate are assigned a sediment removal efficiency equal to that of the lowest tested rate

* Surface loading rates below the lowest ISO/ETV tested surface loading rate are assigned a sediment removal efficiency equal to that of the lowest tested rate

* Hourly historical rainfall data (minimum 20 years) are used to generate the rainfall intensity distribution curve.

* Hourly historical rainfall data greater than 1mm for the April to October period are used to generate the rainfall intensity frequency distribution curves.

* Capacity to add historical rainfall record is provided in order to generate the relationship between hourly rainfall intensities vs average annual rainfall volume for the meteorologic station of choice.

* Users may input their own rainfall intensity frequency distribution curve data for meteorological stations not provided in the tool.
