QDOR^TM has been designed to assist regulatory officials, designers, engineers and contractors with a uniform system by which to select, specify, and use quality rolled erosion control products. The data presented is based upon index testing from AASHTO-NTPEP program and large scale performance data, specifically ASTM D 6459 and ASTM D 6460. The QDOR^TM program will continue to evolve as the state of the practice evolves. Additionally, the data on products will be continually updated as the large scale testing is completed. There are a limited number of large scale facilities that can test in accordance with ASTM D 6459 and ASTM D 6460. The leading manufacturers all have products in the process of completing the QDOR^TM requirements.

For Government Regulators:

To implement this in your regulations, include language that requires the use of QDOR^TM verified products in your agencies specifications for rolled erosion control products. The following is suggested language for incorporation into your agencies’ regulations.

“The rolled erosion control product shall have current QDOR^TM status issued by the Erosion Control Technology Council (plus your state- or agency-specific requirements). Evidence of approval shall accompany the product shipped to the job site for ready identification by the inspector or contractor.”

To utilize QDOR^TM for developing your approved or qualified products list it is recommended that you refer to the QDOR^TM website for a list of products in compliance with the program. Products are monitored and added or removed in accordance with the rules of the program.

For Engineers & Specifiers:

Engineers and specifiers can require that the products supplied for their projects are QDOR^TM verified. The ECTC suggests the following language be added to the specification or bid contract:

 “The rolled erosion control product (type of RECP [i.e. single net, double net, TRM]) shall have current QDOR^TM status issued by the Erosion Control Technology Council plus (your company-specific requirements.) Evidence of approval shall accompany the product shipped to the job site for ready identification by the inspector or contractor.”

Approved QDOR^TM products are listed on the QDOR website and updated three times per year after each review session.

For Inspectors:

Your job is simplified.  When you are on the project, look for the QDOR^TM mark on the product, packaging or insert materials. If you have any questions about the status of a product on your job site, view the complete list at www.qdor.org  under the “listed products” section.

Legal Disclaimer
By certifying that a product is "Performance Verified" under the QDOR^TM Program, the Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC) confirms that product performance data has been submitted and reviewed by the ECTC QDOR^TM Technical Committee. This review ensures that testing was conducted pursuant to state-of-the-practice protocols and the Industry thresholds of performance. The "QDOR^TM Performance Verified" designation is not intended to replace consultation with erosion control industry professionals and/or product manufacturers, and in no way verifies that a product will perform to a certain level in actual field applications. Further, because a product's performance in the field may be affected by multiple factors, including proper installation, neither the QDOR^TM Brand nor the ECTC makes any representations or warranties of any kind or nature, whether express or implied, created by law, contract or otherwise, including, without limitation, any representations or warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
