The work of preparin
17、g International Standards is normally carried 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
18、 with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO 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 technic
19、al committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 t
20、he possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patentrights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 14064-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management.ISO 14064 consists of the following parts

22、ission reductions or removal enhancements Part 3: Specification with guidance for the validation and verification of greenhouse gas assertionsANSI/ISO/ASQ E14064-1:2006(E)viiiIntroduction0.1 Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing nations, governments,business and
23、 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 activity. In response,international, regional, national and local initiatives are being developed and implemented to limit g
24、reenhousegas (GHG) concentrations in the Earths atmosphere. Such GHG intitiatives rely on the quantification,monitoring, reporting and verification of GHG emissions and/or removals.This part of ISO 14064 details principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing and reportingorganizatio
25、n- or company-level GHG inventories. It includes requirements for determining GHG emissionboundaries, quantifying an organizations GHG emissions and removals, and identifying specific companyactions or activities aimed at improving GHG management. It also includes requirements and guidance oninvento
26、ry quality management, reporting, internal auditing and the organizations responsibilities for verificationactivities.ISO 14064-2 focuses on GHG projects or project-based activities specifically designed to reduce GHGemissions or increase GHG removals. It includes principles and requirements for det
27、ermining project baselinescenarios and for monitoring, quantifying and reporting project performance relative to the baseline scenarioand provides the basis for GHG projects to be validated and verified.ISO 14064-3 details principles and requirements for verifying GHG inventories and validating or v
28、erifying GHGprojects. It describes the process for GHG-related validation or verification and specifies components such asvalidation or verification planning, assessment procedures and the evaluation of organization or project GHGassertions. ISO 14064-3 can be used by organizations or independent pa
29、rties to validate or verify GHGassertions.Figure 1 displays the relationship between the three parts of ISO 14064.0.2 ISO 14064 is expected to benefit organizations, governments, project proponents and stakeholdersworldwide by providing clarity and consistency for quantifying, monitoring, reporting
30、and validating or verifyingGHG inventories or projects. Specifically, use of ISO 14064 could enhance the environmental integrity of GHG quantification, enhance the credibility, consistency and transparency of GHG quantification, monitoring and reporting,including GHG project emission reductions and
31、removal enhancements, facilitate the development and implementation of an organizations GHG management strategies and plans, facilitate the development and implementation of GHG projects, facilitate the ability to track performance and progress in the reduction of GHG emissions and/or increase inGHG
32、 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) corporate risk management: for example, the identification and management of risks and opportunities;b) voluntary init
33、iatives: for example, participation in voluntary GHG registry or reporting initiatives;c) GHG markets: for example, the buying and selling of GHG allowances or credits;d) regulatory/government reporting: for example, credit for early action, negotiated agreements or nationalreporting programmes.ANSI
34、/ISO/ASQ E14064-1:2006(E)ix0.3 Consistent with the objective of building on existing International Standards and protocols on corporateGHG inventories, this part of ISO 14064 incorporates many key concepts and requirements stated by WorldBusiness Council for Sustainable Development/World Resources I

Users of this part ofISO 14064 are encouraged to refer to Reference 4 for additional guidance on applying relevant concepts andrequirements.Figure 1 Relationship between the parts of ISO 14064ANSI/ISO/ASQ E14064-1:2006(E)xSome clauses require users of this part of ISO 14064
36、to explain the use of certain approaches or decisionstaken. Explanation will generally include documentation of the following: How approaches were used or decisions taken. Why approaches were chosen or decisions made.Some clauses require users of this part of ISO 14064 to justify the use of certain
37、approaches or decisionstaken. Justification will generally include documentation of the following: How approaches were used or decisions taken. Why approaches were chosen or decisions made. Why alternative approaches were not chosen.ANSI/ISO/ASQ E14064-1:2006(E)xiINTERNATIONAL STANDARD ANSI/ISO/ASQ

39、ouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. It includes requirements for the design,development, management, reporting and verification of an organizations GHG inventory.ISO 14064 is GHG programme neutral. If a GHG programme is applicable, requirements of that GHGprogramme are additional to the requireme
40、nts of ISO 14064.NOTE If a requirement of ISO 14064 prohibits an organization or a GHG project proponent from complying with arequirement of the GHG programme, the requirement of the GHG programme takes precedence.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and defi
