Nature Of Business and Going Concern [Abstract]	'
NATURE OF BUSINESS	'
	NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
	Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company” or “ESW”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sales of emissions control technologies. ESW also provides emissions testing and environmental certification services with its primary focus on the North American on-road and off-road diesel and natural gas engines, chassis and after-treatment market. ESW currently manufactures and markets a line of emission control technologies for a number of applications focused on the medium and heavy duty diesel (“MHDD”) retrofit market.
	The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $52,888,163 and had cash and cash equivalents of $8,614,516.  Based on cash and cash equivalents, anticipated revenues and spending levels, the Company estimates that it has sufficient cash resources to meet its anticipated net cash needs through the next twelve months.
	All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with those annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
	The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ESW America Inc. (“ESWA”), ESW Technologies Inc. (“ESWT”), ESW Canada Inc. (“ESWC”), ESW CleanTech Inc. (“ESWCT”) and Technology Fabricators Inc. (“TFI”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Amounts in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
	ESTIMATES
	The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for inventory valuation, impairment of and useful lives of property plant and equipment, the valuation of the stock-based compensation and conversion option derivative liability, and warranty provisions.
	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
	The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $111,559 and $250,862 was appropriate as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the period ended September 30, 2014, the Company wrote off $172,123 (December 31, 2013 - $0). The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
	INVENTORY
	Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and parts.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION
	The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates apply.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its diesel emission control products. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	The Company also derives revenue (approximately 2.5% and 4.8% of total revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of testing services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
	EARNINGS / LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
	Basic and diluted earnings per share have been determined by dividing the consolidated net earnings available to shareholders for the applicable period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is calculated as if all dilutive options and restricted stock grants had been exercised or vested at the later of the beginning of the reporting period or date of grant, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes has been reflected in diluted weighted average number of shares using the if-converted method.
	Loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
	INCOME TAXES
	Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on ESW’s income tax provision and results of operations.
	SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
	The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $354,884 and $97,301 are included in cost of revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 shipping and handling costs amounted to $93,990 and $49,024, respectively.
	Additionally, the Company has recorded recoveries of these costs amounting to $48,274 and $69,709, which are included in cost of revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and in revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the three month period ended September 30, 2014 shipping and handling recoveries amounted to $0. For the three month period ended September 30, 2013 shipping and handling recoveries included in revenue amounted to $29,332.
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
	The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs are charged as an operating expense as incurred. Any grant money received for research and development work is used to offset these expenditures.
	For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company expensed $540,836 and $455,235, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company expensed $187,770 and $214,624, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs.
	For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $540,836 and $496,181, respectively, and grant revenues amounted to $0 and $40,946, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $187,770 and $214,624, respectively, and grant money amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.
	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
	The functional currency of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of the Company’s revenue and materials purchased from suppliers are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are converted to the functional currency on the transaction date, and any resulting assets or liabilities are further translated at each reporting date and at settlement. Gains and losses recognized upon such translations are included within foreign exchange (gain) / loss in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income / (loss).
	PRODUCT WARRANTIES
	The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on industry warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customer warranty issues. The Company currently estimates warranty costs as 2% of revenue for on-road products and, effective July 1, 2013, the Company revised its warranty accrual for off-road products to 4% of revenue from the prior warranty accrual estimate of 2% of revenue.
	SEGMENT REPORTING
	ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. ESW operates in two reportable segments; medium and heavy duty diesel retrofit operations and air testing services (see Note 14). ESW’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Executive Chairman.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	'
	NOTE 3 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	“Income Taxes (ASC Topic - 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”) was issued during July 2013. FASB issued guidance on how to present an unrecognized tax benefit. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the accounting pronouncement does not have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASC No. 2014-08 (Topic 205 and Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASC update modifies the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This update also requires additional financial statement disclosures about discontinued operations, as well as disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. The updated guidance is effective prospectively for years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company expects that the adoption of the accounting pronouncement will not materially affect its financial position or results of operations.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and apply to all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The guidance also addresses the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain non-financial assets, such as real estate, property and equipment. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2017 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance related to the recognition of share-based compensation when an award provides that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period.  This guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES	'
	NOTE 8 – SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
	On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into a note subscription agreement and a security agreement (the “Agreements”) and issued senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “March 2013 Notes”) to four accredited investors who are currently shareholders (the “Holders”) and may be deemed affiliates of the Company (Note 12). Pursuant to the Agreements and the March 2013 Notes, the Holders made initial loans of $1,400,000 to the Company.
	On April 23, 2013 and June 27, 2013, the Company issued additional Notes in the principal amount of $1,600,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, to the Holders pursuant to the Agreements (together with the March 2013 Notes, the “Existing Notes”). The Existing Notes mature on March 22, 2018. The Existing Notes are a part of a senior secured convertible loan facility of up to $5,000,000 which is now fully drawn down.
	The Existing Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded quarterly. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash and at the Company’s election, during the term of the Existing Notes, up to two accrued and unpaid semi-annual interest payments can be payable in the Company’s common stock valued at the lesser of $80 per share, subject to adjustment (“Conversion Price”), or the market value of the Company’s common stock, with interest payments commencing September 30, 2013.
	At the option of the Holders, all principal, and interest amounts outstanding under all of the Notes (as defined below) may be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to an anti-dilution adjustment in the event the Company at any time, while the Notes are outstanding, issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than $80 per share. The anti-dilution protection excludes shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other securities granted to directors, officers, bona fide consultants and employees of the Company issued pursuant to a Board approved option or incentive plan or stock, warrants or other securities issued to a bank or other financial institution.
	The Notes are secured by a lien on and a security interest in all assets of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company: TFI, ESWCT, ESWA and ESWT, excluding certain collateral subject to pre-existing liens.
	Effective October 1, 2013 the Company elected to pay and paid interest on the Existing Notes in the form of common stock, as per the terms of the Existing Notes. The Company issued 8,000 shares as interest payment to four note holders for interest accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaling $200,000. The conversion price of the shares was $25 for the interest payment, which was based upon the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of payment (determined by calculating the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding such date). The Company further agreed to conduct a rights offering to all of its holders of common stock, offering the right to purchase up to their pro-rata Company ownership amount of senior secured convertible promissory notes substantially similar to the Existing Notes.
	On February 12, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a Form S-1 Registration Statement under the Securities Act Of 1933 originally filed by the Company on December 23, 2013 (“Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the subscription rights offering to existing Company shareholders that the Company agreed to conduct in connection with the 2013 issuance of senior secured convertible promissory notes to accredited investors. The Registration Statement registers an aggregate of $4,596,929 new 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due 2018 (the “New Notes” and, together with the Existing Notes, the “Notes”) as well as potential 152,899 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and, if applicable, as payment of interest on the Notes by the Company. In March, 2014, the Company filed a form 424B3 with the Securities And Exchange Commission (the “prospectus”) and commenced the rights offering by mailing the prospectus and related documents to the Company’s shareholders of record as of February 13, 2014. The rights offering was completed on May 9, 2014, and on May 23, 2014 the Company issued New Notes, in the principal amount of $122,486, to the shareholders that participated in the rights offering. The New Notes mature on March 22, 2018.
	Effective April 1, 2014, the Company elected to pay and paid interest on the Existing Notes in the form of common stock, as per the terms of the Notes. The Company issued 5,126 shares as interest payment to the holders of the Existing Notes for interest accrued up to March 31, 2014 totaling $256,300. The conversion price of the shares was $50 for the interest payment, which was based upon the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of payment (determined by calculating the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding such date). Per the terms of the Notes, up to two interest payments could be paid in the Company’s common stock. The Company has used both options to pay interest in the form of the Company’s common stock, future interest payments on the Notes will be paid in cash.
	On March 22, 2013, April 23, 2013, June 27, 2013 and May 23, 2014, the Company recorded a discount on the Notes equal to the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability (Note 9). This discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method at an interest rate of 9.6%, 17.3% and 38.3% for the March 22, April 23 and June 27, 2013 Notes, respectively, over the term of the Notes. The May 23, 2014 Notes were discounted on recognition by $56,639 and the discount will be amortized using the effective interest rate method at a rate of 16.5% over the term of the Note.

Derivative Liability [Abstract]	'
CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY	'
	NOTE 9 – CONVERSION OPTION DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
	The Company’s Notes are subject to anti-dilution adjustments (the “conversion option”) that provide for reductions in the Conversion Price in the event the Company subsequently issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock (with certain exceptions) for no consideration or for consideration less than $80 per share. Simultaneously with any reduction to the Conversion Price, the number of shares of common stock that may be converted increases proportionately. The Company accounted for the conversion option in accordance with ASC Topic 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”), under which the conversion option meets the definition of a derivative instrument and, since it is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock, is treated as a derivative liability.
	This conversion option derivative liability was measured at fair value on the dates of issue and on the last date of each subsequent quarter (including the quarter ended September 30, 2014) using a binomial lattice model, with changes in the fair value charged or credited to income.
	Since the Conversion Price is subject to an anti-dilution adjustment, the probability that the Conversion Price of the Notes would decrease as the share price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculation.
	The inputs into the binomial lattice model are as follows:
		March 22,	April 23,	June 27,	December 31,	May 23,	June 30,	September 30,
		2013	2013	2013	2013	2014	2014	2014

	Expected life	5 years	4.92 years	4.75 years	4.25 years	3.92 years	3.75 years	3.5 years
	The fair value of the conversion option derivative liability, as determined using the binomial lattice model, was $4,309,832 at September 30, 2014 and $1,131,745 at December 31, 2013. The change in the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability of $3,121,448 was primarily due to an increase in the price of our common stock and high expected volatility, and was recorded as a loss in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and $1,953,328 was recorded as a gain in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The change in the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability of $1,388,281 was recorded as a loss in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 and $2,991,651 was recorded as a gain in the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

	NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
	We calculate our interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. At the end of each interim period, we estimate the annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to our ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items is recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates, or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
	The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment, including the expected operating income (loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (loss) earned and taxed in various states, permanent and temporary differences as a result of differences between amounts measured and recognized in accordance with tax laws and financial accounting standards, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or as the tax environment changes.
	Income tax expense of $56,034 and $0 reflects an effective tax rate of 5.3% and 0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to benefits from a release of valuation allowance related to current year projected income. The Company still maintains a full valuation allowance on all its remaining deferred tax assets. Income tax recovery for the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $56,156 and $0, respectively.
	We are subject to taxation in the United States and in various states. Our tax years 2010 and forward are subject to examination by the IRS and our tax years 2009 and forward are subject to examination by material state jurisdictions. However, due to prior year loss carryovers, the IRS and state tax authorities may examine any tax years for which the carryovers are used to offset future taxable income. We are subject to taxation in Canada for our Canadian subsidiary ESWC. Our tax years 2010 and forward are subject to examination by the Canada Revenue Agency.

	On March 20, 2013, the Company received the written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a proposal to approve and adopt the Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. 2013 Stock Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”). The 2013 Stock Plan replaces the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, which replaced the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan.  While previously granted awards under the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and 2002 Stock Option Plan will remain in effect in accordance with the terms of the individual awards, the 2013 Stock Plan will replace the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and 2002 Stock Option Plan for future grants.

Under the Plan, the Company may deliver authorized but unissued shares of common stock, treasury shares of common stock, and shares of common stock acquired by the Company for the purposes of the Plan.  Each Award will be evidenced by an agreement between the recipient and the Company setting forth the terms of the Award, as determined by the Committee.  A maximum of 20,000 shares of common stock will be available for grants pursuant to Awards under the Plan.  The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which any individual may be granted Options or Stock Appreciation Rights during any one calendar year is 2,500 shares.
	The 2013 Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee has authority, subject to ratification by the Board, to interpret the 2013 Stock Plan, adopt administrative regulations, determine the recipients of Awards, and determine and amend the terms of Awards.
	Shares of restricted common stock issued were valued at the quoted market price on the dates of grant.

	LEGAL MATTERS
	From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, ESW believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on ESW because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
	·      In August 2014, the Company settled a claim for collection of unpaid invoices related to goods delivered to a former distributor that it was pursuing in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, (filed on October 18, 2012). The terms of the settlement included a full and final mutual release by both parties in lieu of the former distributor assigning to the Company a judgment against a third party to which the former distributor was the beneficiary.
	WARRANTY PROVISIONS
	The Company is also exposed to warranty contingencies associated with certain verification procedures relating to the ThermaCat and to the assumption of warranties for legacy Cleaire products in the field. In 2013, ESW had estimated a one-time charge of $1,000,000 related to its assumption of warranties for legacy Cleaire products in the field and a one-time warranty charge of $504,900 associated with certain verification procedures relating to the ThermaCat. The actual amount of loss associated with such assumption of warranties and/or verification procedures, however, could be materially different.  Both of these warranty charges are based on the estimated number of operational units, average remaining warranty life and cost of warrantable failure. These amounts, as well as the on-road and off-road warranty provision have been included in the warranty provision of $1,741,314 as of September 30, 2014 on the consolidated condensed balance sheets (December 31, 2013 - $1,723,769).
	For the nine months periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the total warranty, service, service travel and installation costs included in cost of revenue was $387,719 and $1,687,128, respectively. For the three months periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the total warranty, service, service travel and installation costs included in cost of revenue was $97,220 and $105,294, respectively.

(“ESWC”), ESW CleanTech Inc. (“ESWCT”) and Technology Fabricators Inc. (“TFI”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Amounts in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
ESTIMATES	'
	ESTIMATES
	The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for inventory valuation, impairment of and useful lives of property plant and equipment, the valuation of the stock-based compensation and conversion option derivative liability, and warranty provisions.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS	'
	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
	The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $111,559 and $250,862 was appropriate as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the period ended September 30, 2014, the Company wrote off $172,123 (December 31, 2013 - $0). The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
INVENTORY	'
	INVENTORY
	Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and parts.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION	'
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT UNDER CONSTRUCTION
	The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates apply.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT	'
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
	Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
REVENUE RECOGNITION	'
	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its diesel emission control products. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	The Company also derives revenue (approximately 2.5% and 4.8% of total revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of testing services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
EARNINGS/LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK	'
	EARNINGS / LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
	Basic and diluted earnings per share have been determined by dividing the consolidated net earnings available to shareholders for the applicable period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is calculated as if all dilutive options and restricted stock grants had been exercised or vested at the later of the beginning of the reporting period or date of grant, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes has been reflected in diluted weighted average number of shares using the if-converted method.
	Loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
INCOME TAXES	'
	INCOME TAXES
	Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on ESW’s income tax provision and results of operations.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS	'
	SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
	The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $354,884 and $97,301 are included in cost of revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 shipping and handling costs amounted to $93,990 and $49,024, respectively.
	Additionally, the Company has recorded recoveries of these costs amounting to $48,274 and $69,709, which are included in cost of revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and in revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the three month period ended September 30, 2014 shipping and handling recoveries amounted to $0. For the three month period ended September 30, 2013 shipping and handling recoveries included in revenue amounted to $29,332.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT	'
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
	The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs are charged as an operating expense as incurred. Any grant money received for research and development work is used to offset these expenditures.
	For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company expensed $540,836 and $455,235, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company expensed $187,770 and $214,624, net of grant revenues, respectively, towards research and development costs.
	For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $540,836 and $496,181, respectively, and grant revenues amounted to $0 and $40,946, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, gross research and development expense, excluding any offsetting grant revenues, amounted to $187,770 and $214,624, respectively, and grant money amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION	'
	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
	The functional currency of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of the Company’s revenue and materials purchased from suppliers are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are converted to the functional currency on the transaction date, and any resulting assets or liabilities are further translated at each reporting date and at settlement. Gains and losses recognized upon such translations are included within foreign exchange (gain) / loss in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income / (loss).
PRODUCT WARRANTIES	'
	PRODUCT WARRANTIES
	The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on industry warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customer warranty issues. The Company currently estimates warranty costs as 2% of revenue for on-road products and, effective July 1, 2013, the Company revised its warranty accrual for off-road products to 4% of revenue from the prior warranty accrual estimate of 2% of revenue.
SEGMENT REPORTING	'
	SEGMENT REPORTING
	ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. ESW operates in two reportable segments; medium and heavy duty diesel retrofit operations and air testing services (see Note 14). ESW’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Executive Chairman.
