Common Questions about GHG Verification
What Does SCC ISO 14065:2020 Accreditation Actually Mean?
It means the Standards Council of Canada has independently assessed and confirmed that our validation and verification processes meet ISO/IEC 17029:2019 and ISO 14065:2020, the standards regulators and buyers look for when they need to trust a verifier's opinion. We're one of the first bodies accredited under this standard in Canada.
Who Can Conduct CARB-Required Verification?
Only CARB-accredited verification bodies and CARB-accredited individual verifiers may perform regulatory verification for entities subject to CARB requirements. Standard Carbon holds this accreditation.
What's the Difference Between Validation and Verification?
Validation assesses the reasonableness of the assumptions, limitations, and methods behind a statement about future activities. Verification evaluates historical data and information to confirm it's materially correct and conforms to the applicable criteria. GHG emissions inventories and projects can be verified; forward-looking claims are validated.
Which Programs Do You Verify Under?
In Canada, we cover federal programs such as ECCC's Output-Based Pricing System and Clean Fuel Regulations, plus provincial systems including Alberta's TIER, BC's GHG regulations and Forest Carbon Offset Protocol, Ontario's EPS, and Quebec's Cap-and-Trade. In California, we verify under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Cap-and-Trade offset programs.
How Often Should We Verify Our GHG Inventory?
Most programs and best practice call for annual verification. Doing it every year keeps your emissions trend data usable, keeps you ahead of evolving regulations, and avoids a scramble when a filing deadline or buyer request comes in.
Does U.S. EPA Verification Satisfy CARB Requirements?
No. EPA verification does not automatically satisfy CARB's verification requirements, though we can help coordinate to streamline dual-agency compliance.
