Verification of a GHG Inventory: ISO 14064-3, ISO 14065 and ISO 14066

Level of assurance, materiality threshold, sampling, evidence: you examine your inventory and your file as the verifier will.

Frequently asked questions
Does the course allow you to become a verifier?
No. It explains the verification process so as to prepare for it better, and can serve as a basis for internal auditors. Verifiers work within bodies accredited under ISO 14065:2020 and must meet the competence requirements of ISO 14066:2023.
Can ACG verify our inventory?
Verification must be independent of the preparation of the inventory. ACG trains your teams and can help you prepare the file; the verification itself is entrusted to an accredited verification body.
Limited or reasonable assurance: which should we choose?
The choice depends on the use of the statement and on what the recipient asks for: customer, lender, programme or regulation. Reasonable assurance requires more evidence and testing than limited assurance; the course shows what each implies for your teams.
Does CBAM verification follow these standards?
CBAM has its own verification rules, set by European regulation and applied by accredited verifiers. The notions worked on here, assurance, materiality threshold, sampling and evidence, are found there too.
