[Farmington Hills, Mich, April 30, 2025] \u2013 NEU, leader in the global concrete industry in advancing reduced-carbon concrete technologies, begins its Third-party Validation\/Verification Program<\/strong>. This initiative provides an independent, impartial assessment of environmental claims for technologies focused on reduced-carbon cement, concrete, and related solutions.<\/p>\n With the surge in technological developments addressing carbon emissions in construction, the need for credible and verifiable environmental claims has never been greater. NEU\u2019s program is designed to ensure products and technologies meet the carbon reduction amount stated in those claims, building industry confidence in their ability to mitigate carbon emissions effectively.<\/p>\n What is the Validation\/Verification Program? <\/strong><\/p>\n The NEU Validation\/Verification Program follows internationally accepted ISO standards to provide impartial validation of future outcomes or verification of historical data. It assesses the reasonableness, methods, and results of environmental claims without involving product certification or ongoing compliance inspections.<\/p>\n The process ultimately can produce either a Validation Statement<\/strong>, which supports claims for future outcomes, or a Verification Statement<\/strong>, which confirms the accuracy of historical claims. Each assessment is conducted by NEU\u2019s team of subject matter experts, ensuring unbiased and credible results.<\/p>\n Why This Matters <\/strong><\/p>\n The construction industry faces increasing scrutiny over its environmental impact. For manufacturers and innovators, proving the effectiveness of lower-carbon solutions is critical to gaining acceptance among industry stakeholders and demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements. By providing third-party assurance, NEU helps bridge the gap between innovation and market trust.<\/p>\n \u201cNEU\u2019s Validation\/Verification Program is an essential step forward for manufacturers and technology developers who want to establish credibility, verify environmental performance, and meet growing industry demands for transparency and accountability,\u201d said NEU\u2019s Executive Director, Dean Frank, P.E.<\/p>\n Program highlights include the following features:<\/p>\n How to Get Started <\/strong><\/p>\n Manufacturers and developers can begin the process by downloading an application directly from the NEU website<\/a> or by contacting NEU at info@neuconcrete.org<\/a>. For a more comprehensive understanding of the program and its benefits, the organization also offers a free informative webinar<\/a> by NEU\u2019s Validation Director, Mahmut Ekenel, PhD, PE, FACI. Housed on NEU\u2019s website, the on-demand webinar discusses the details of the program and how to go through the validation\/verification process.<\/p>\n NEU\u2019s Validation\/Verification Program provides the mark of assurance your technology needs to stand out in today\u2019s competitive market. With trusted credentials, your organization can confidently demonstrate its contribution towards a zero-carbon emissions future in the built environment.<\/p>\n To learn more about the NEU Validation\/Verification Program and take the first step in proving your environmental claims, visit NEUConcrete.org<\/a> today.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n About NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete<\/strong><\/p>\n NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete, was established in 2022 by the American Concrete Institute. The Center, based at ACI World Headquarters in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, leads the global concrete industry in advancing reduced-carbon concrete technologies, empowering all stakeholders to build a sustainable future. Through leadership with integrity and global collaboration, NEU will accelerate the adoption and use of reduced-carbon concrete technologies. NEU leverages ACI\u2019s role as a world-leading authority and resource for the development, dissemination and adoption of consensus-based standards for concrete design, construction and materials. The Center\u2019s membership is open to government agencies, industries, technical societies, standard bodies, manufacturers, contractors and professionals.
