SQIDEP Independent Evaluation Panel (IEP)

Submissions will be independently assessed by two (2) Independent Evaluators (IEs) from the SQIDEP Independent Evaluation Panel (IEP) for verification of Claims. Independent Evaluators will be selected based on their responses to the Expression of Interest (EOI), the submitted technology and relevant selection criteria including disclosure of conflicts of interest.

The Independent Evaluators (IEs) will undertake their reviews separately, and then confer to provide a joint evaluation. Non-conformances with SQIDEP and issues with performance claims will be discussed with the Applicant/Claimant prior to finalisation of issuing of a Verification Certificate.
The submitted Detailed Performance Report (DPR) and Verification Certificate (VC) will become publicly available on the Stormwater Australia website, from that time.
Membership of the Panel is invited by a public Expression of Interest (EOI).
