19、odies(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISOtechnical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has beenestablished has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations

20、, governmental andnon-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the InternationalElectrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/I

21、EC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standardsadopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as anInternational Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member

25、ot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-Introduction0.1 Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing nations, governments,business and citizens over future decades. Climate change has implications for both human and naturalsyst

26、ems and could lead to significant changes in resource use, production and economic activity. In response,international, regional, national, and local initiatives are being developed and implemented to limit greenhousegas (GHG) concentrations in the Earths atmosphere. Such GHG initiatives rely on the

27、 quantification,monitoring, reporting and verification of GHG emissions and/or removals.ISO 14064-1 details principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing and reportingorganization- or company-level GHG inventories. It includes requirements for determining GHG emissionboundaries, qu

28、antifying an organizations GHG emissions and removals and identifying specific companyactions or activities aimed at improving GHG management. It also includes requirements and guidance oninventory quality management, reporting, internal auditing and the organizations responsibilities in verificatio

29、nactivities.ISO 14064-2 focuses on GHG projects or project-based activities specifically designed to reduce GHGemissions or increase GHG removals. It includes principles and requirements for determining project baselinescenarios and for monitoring, quantifying and reporting project performance relat

It describes the process for GHG-related validation or verification and s

31、pecifiescomponents such as validation or verification planning, assessment procedures and the evaluation oforganization or project GHG assertions. This part of ISO 14064 can be used by organizations or independentparties to validate or verify GHG assertions.Figure 1 displays the relationships betwee

32、n the three parts of ISO 14064.0.2 ISO 14064 is expected to benefit organizations, governments, project proponents and stakeholdersworldwide by providing clarity and consistency for quantifying, monitoring, reporting and validating or verifyingGHG inventories or projects. Specifically, use of ISO 14

33、064 could enhance the environmental integrity of GHG quantification, enhance the credibility, consistency and transparency of GHG quantification, monitoring and reporting,including GHG project emission reductions and removal enhancements, facilitate the development and implementation of an organizat

34、ions GHG management strategies and plans; facilitate the development and implementation of GHG projects, facilitate the ability to track performance and progress in the reduction of GHG emissions and/or increase inGHG removals, and facilitate the crediting and trade of GHG emission reductions or rem

36、ves;c) GHG markets: for example, the buying and selling of GHG allowances or credits;d) regulatory/government reporting: for example, credit for early action, negotiated agreements or nationalreporting programmes.ANSI/ISO/ASQ E14064-3:2006(E)ixCopyright American Society for Quality Provided by IHS u

It is intended to be useful to a broad range of potentia

38、l users, including:1st, 2ndand 3rdparty GHG validators and verifiers; organizations and individuals involved in developing and commissioning GHG projects; organizations conducting internal audits of their GHG information; organizations involved in GHG validator or verifier training; voluntary and ma

41、cts GHG assertions are complete, accurate, consistent, transparent and withoutmaterial discrepancies. The processes of validation and verification are similar; however, there are differencesin the emphasis of the activities. The process can be applied in two ways: internal and external. Internalappl

42、ications can use this part of ISO 14064 as a guideline, whereas external applications can use it as a set ofrequirements.The extent of the validation and verification activities depends on the level of assurance required, needs of the intended user, objectives of the validation or verification activ

43、ities, and the validation or verification criteria.A GHG assertion can be a statement about different aspects of performance, such as the following:a) quantification of organizational GHG emissions or removals;b) quantification of project GHG emission reductions or removal enhancements;c) conformity

44、 with the requirements of ISO 14064-1 or ISO 14064-2;d) compliance with the principles and requirements of regulatory regimes or GHG programmes;e) performance or effectiveness of internal systems and control processes;f) performance or effectiveness of operational processes.Clause 3 describes the pr

45、inciples and fundamentals of validation and verification. These will help the user toappreciate the essential nature of validation and verification and they are a necessary prelude to therequirements in Clause 4 for conducting the validation of GHG projects and the verification of organizations orGH

46、G project assertions. These requirements include the establishment of validation or verification objectives,criteria and scope (including the level of assurance required), coordination of validation or verification activities,development of a validation or verification approach of an organizations o

47、r GHG projects GHG information,establishment of appropriate sampling regimes for the validation and verification of GHG information, and thetesting of the organizations or GHG projects controls. This clause also provides requirements for the draftingand communication of the validation or verificatio

48、n statement.The guidance contained in the informative Annex A provides additional information for validation and verificationunder a range of GHG programmes or conditions. Annex A provides guidance on the validation and verificationrequirements contained in Clause 4, but does not include mandatory requirements.0.5 Some clauses require users of this part of ISO 14064 to explain the use of certain approaches or decisionstaken. Explanation will generally include documentation of the following: How approaches were used or decisions taken. Why approaches were chosen or decisions made
