First of all, standard ISO 14064-1:2006 “speciﬁ cation with guidance, at the level of organisations,

for the quantiﬁ cation and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removal” details the

principles for the design, development and management of GHG inventories and for the

presentation of reports on said inventories.

It includes the requirements to determine the limits of GHG emissions and removals of the

organisation and to identify the specific activities or actions of the company aimed

at improving GHG management. It also includes the requirements and guidelines for the

quality management of the inventory, the report, the internal audit and the responsibilities

of the organisation in the veriﬁ cation activities.

On the other hand, standard ISO 14064-2:2006 focuses on projects designed speciﬁ cally

to reduce GHG emissions or to increase their removal.

It includes the principles and requirements to determine the base line scenarios of the

projects and to monitor, quantify and report on the development of the project with respect

to the base line scenario and provides a basis for the GHG projects to validate or verify.

Taking this series of standards as a basis, AENOR provides its service for the independent

veriﬁ cation of the inventories of GHG emissions.

Through the verification of AENOR

organisations can beneﬁ t from participating

in the voluntary GHG register, in reporting

initiatives, in GHG markets or in regulatory

reports.

Consequently, veriﬁ cation in accordance

with these standards may produce the

following actions in the organisation:

• Handling GHG risks and identifying

opportunities to reduce them.

• Public report and participation in

Voluntary GHG programmes.

• Crease the credibility, consistency and

transparency of the GHG quantiﬁ cation,

monitoring and reporting, including the

projects for the reduction of emissions

and the increase in the removals of GHG

• Participation in Obligatory report

• Participation in GHG markets.

Veriﬁ cation:

AENOR offers its veriﬁ cation

services for:

The design, development and the

management of the GHG inventories for

companies and organisations, as well as for the

presentation of reports on these inventories in

accordance with the guidelines established in

ISO 14064-1:2006

standard.

Determine the base line scenarios of the

projects and to monitor, quantify and

report on the development of the project

with respect to the base line scenario in

accodance with the requirements included in

ISO 14064-2:2006

standard.

The

purpose of the veriﬁ cation is to give an independent guarantee that the declaration made

relating to the emissions of greenhouse gases, through the emissions report prepared is

complete, that is to say, exact, consistent, transparent and without any signiﬁ cant discrepancies.

Information analysis

A study is made of the processes

of the sites subjected to veriﬁ cation,

the methodology of the

quantiﬁ cation of emissions, the

emissions report issued and the

level of security required for the

data communicated.

Definition of

objectives, criteria, scope

and level of security of the

veriﬁ cation.

Preparation of a

Veriﬁ cation Plan and

the sampling to be carried out.

Following the analysis of the

information, a decision is made

on the sample to be carried

out and the Veriﬁ cation Plan

is prepared. This basically

describes the level of security,

objectives, criteria, scope,

relative importance

established byAENOR, as

well as the veriﬁ cation activities

and the methodologies to be

followed.

On site veriﬁ cation process.

In the on site veriﬁ cation AENOR

performs the following activities:

4.1. Evaluation of the information

system on the greenhouse gases

and the controls that the site has

implemented.

4.2. Evaluation of the data and

the

information provided by the

site on greenhouse gases, based

on the deﬁ ned samples.

4.3. Contrasting the information

available with the veriﬁ cation

criteria, that is, with the

establis-hed monitoring methodology.

4.4. Evaluation of the

emis-sions

report issued by the site.

Preparing and sending

the Veriﬁ cation Report and

the Declaration of Emissions.

As a consequence of each

veriﬁ cation process carried out,

AENOR prepares and sends a

Veriﬁ cation report and a

Declaration. The Veriﬁ cation

Report includes the conclusions

obtained from the veriﬁ cation

process, as well as possible

improvements to be considered.
