20、ense with ASQ Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carri

21、ed 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, governmental andnon-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO

22、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/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International S

23、tandards. 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 bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of

27、ction0.1 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 naturalsystems and could lead to significant changes in resource use, production and economic activi

28、ty. 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 quantification,monitoring, reporting and verification of GHG emissions and/or removals.I

29、SO 14064-1 details principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing and reportingorganization or company-level GHG inventories. It includes requirements for determining GHG emissionboundaries, quantifying an organizations GHG emissions and removals and identifying specific companyacti

30、ons or activities aimed at improving GHG management. It also includes requirements and guidance oninventory quality management, reporting, internal auditing and the organizations responsibilities in verificationactivities.This part of ISO 14064 focuses on GHG projects or project-based activities spe

31、cifically designed to reduceGHG emissions or increase GHG removals. It includes principles and requirements for determining projectbaseline scenarios and for monitoring, quantifying and reporting project performance relative to the baselinescenario. It provides the basis for GHG projects to be valid

32、ated and verified.ISO 14064-3 details principles and requirements for verifying GHG inventories and validating or verifying GHGprojects. ISO 14064-3 describes the process for GHG-related validation or verification and specifiescomponents such as validation or verification planning, assessment proced

33、ures and the evaluation oforganization or project GHG assertions. ISO 14064-3 can be used by organizations or independent parties tovalidate or verify GHG assertions.Figure 1 displays relationships among the three parts of ISO 14064.0.2 ISO 14064 is expected to benefit organizations, governments, pr

34、oject proponents and stakeholdersworldwide by providing clarity and consistency for quantifying, monitoring, reporting and validating or verifyingGHG inventories or projects. Specifically, use of ISO 14064 could enhance the environmental integrity of GHG quantification, enhance the credibility, cons

35、istency, and transparency of GHG quantification, monitoring and reporting,including GHG project emission reductions and removal enhancements, facilitate the development and implementation of organization GHG management strategies and plans, facilitate the development and implementation of GHG projec

36、ts, 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 removal enhancements.Users of ISO 14064 could find benefit from some of the following applications:a) co

39、,-,-0.3 A standardized approach for quantification, monitoring and reporting is required for GHG projects and anyresulting GHG emission reductions and/or removal enhancements, in order that they are comparable amongintended users and GHG programmes. Accordingly, this part of ISO 14064 specifies a ge

40、neral, GHGprogramme-neutral framework and uses terms and concepts designed to be compatible with otherrequirements and guidance from relevant GHG policies and programmes, good practice, legislation andstandards. Reference 13 provides an example of good practice guidance.This part of ISO 14064 deals

41、with the concept of additionality by requiring that the GHG project has resulted inGHG emission reductions or removal enhancements in addition to what would have happened in the absenceof that project. It does not use the term “additionality”, prescribe baseline procedures or specify additionalitycr

42、iteria. This part of ISO 14064 requires the project proponent to identify and select GHG sources, sinks andreservoirs relevant for the GHG project and for the baseline scenario. In order to be compatible with thebroadest range of GHG programmes, it does not use the term “boundaries” to describe whic

43、h GHG sources,sinks and/or reservoirs are considered for quantification, monitoring and reporting, but instead uses the conceptFigure 1 Relationship between the parts of ISO 14064ANSI/ISO/ASQ E14064-2:2006(E)xCopyright American Society for Quality Provided by IHS under license with ASQ Not for Resal

Thus the project proponent may apply additionality criteriaand procedures, or define and use boundaries consistent with relevant legislation, policy, GHG programmesand good practic

45、e.Quantification and monitoring of project-level GHG emissions, removals, emission reductions and removalenhancements is challenging because actual project performance is assessed against a hypothetical baselinescenario that represents what would have happened in the absence of the GHG project. Cons

46、equently, it isdifficult to verify GHG emissions, removals and/or stocks of the baseline scenario. It is therefore important todemonstrate that the baseline scenario is consistent with the principles of this part of ISO 14064, includingconservativeness and accuracy, in order to increase the level of

47、 confidence that GHG emission reductionsand/or removal enhancements are credible and not over-estimated. Generally, the baseline scenario isdetermined on the basis of an assessment of alternative scenarios. For both the project and the baselinescenario, the quantification, monitoring and reporting o

48、f GHG emissions, removals and/or stocks by GHGsources, sinks and reservoirs is based on procedures developed by the project proponent or adopted fromrecognized authorities.0.4 This part of ISO 14064 does not specify requirements for validation/verification bodies orvalidators/verifiers in providing assurance against GHG assertions or claims by GHG projects. Suchrequirements may be specified by the authority of the applicable GHG programme or can be found inISO 14064-3.
