一、EPA的定义/EPA是什么
EPA是美国环境保护署 (U.S Environmental Protection Agency) 的英文缩写。它的主要任务是保护人类健康和自然环境。总部设在华盛顿，有10个地方办公室和几十个实验室。在全美国有 18000 名雇员。他们半数以上是工程师，科学家和政策分析家。负责对很多环境项目设立国家标准，监控强制性标准的执行和符合情况。EPA 联合州和地方政府颁发一系列商业以及工业许可证。EPA是一个项目的概念，不是单纯的测试或者认证项目。需要根据产品性质制定方案。
EPA负责对各种各样的环境计划进行调查并制订国家标准，并代表各州和各部门颁发相关执照，监控并加强一致性。如果没有达到国家标准，EPA可签发批准通过采取其它措施帮助州和地方来达到环境标准所要求的水平。同样，EPA在各地的办事处与其它行业组织和各级政府一起进行各种不同的自愿的防止污染计划和能源的保持工作。
