Comprehensive Guide to ISO 14064-3 Carbon Emissions Verification for Nordic Ecolabel Use Testing Services

ISO 14064-3 is an international standard that provides guidelines for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas emissions reductions. The standard is part of the ISO 14064 series, which focuses on greenhouse gas accounting and reporting. In this article, we will delve into the world of carbon emissions verification and explore the requirements and needs for this specific testing service.

Overview of Relevant Standards

The main standards governing carbon emissions verification are:

  • ISO 14064-1:2006 - Greenhouse gases -- Part 1: Specification with guidance at the project level

  • ISO 14064-2:2006 - Greenhouse gases -- Part 2: Specification with guidance at the organization level for the preparation, communication and use of specified greenhouse gas statements

  • ISO 14064-3:2019 - Greenhouse gases -- Part 3: Specifying and extending the requirements for quantification and reporting of six greenhouse gases.

    • These standards are developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and provide a framework for organizations to measure, report, and verify their greenhouse gas emissions. The Nordic Ecolabel is a well-known environmental label that promotes sustainable practices in various industries. To obtain this label, companies must meet specific criteria, including carbon emissions verification.

    International and National Standards

    In addition to the ISO standards mentioned above, other relevant international and national standards include:

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) - E2290-19 Standard Practice for Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Reductions

  • EN 16001:2009 - Energy management systems -- Requirements with guidance for use

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) - TS ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse gases -- Part 1: Specification with guidance at the project level

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The standard development organizations that play a crucial role in creating and updating these standards are:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to develop and maintain international standards, ensuring consistency and comparability across different regions.

    Standard Evolution and Updates
