Verification is the systematic, independent and documented process for the evaluation of a greenhouse gas assertion against agreed verification criteria. Verification provides an independent assessment of the data associated with a GHG inventory or project and typically offers an opinion on the accuracy of the estimates or measurements, thus giving confidence to others interested in the results. This course details the correct ISO approved methodology to verify Greenhouse Gas emissions. Only by using the correct verification methodology can one provide the independent and correct assessment of the data associated with a GHG inventory or project.
This course will provide detailed training on the approach to using the ISO 14064-3:2019 standard, with specific examples of how verification would be applied to a GHG inventory prepared according to the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard or a project that conforms with the ISO 14064-2:2019 standard. Topics such as principles of verification and how a verification opinion statement is produced will also be covered.
This course includes an examination component and participants who successfully pass the exam will receive a certificate of completion.
