26、 by SIS. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that
27、 some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to

30、ction 0.1 General The standard was developed and approved before the Cogeneration Directive (2004/8/EC) was replaced by the Energy Efficiency directive (2012/27/EU). The objective for this European Standard is that it should contain standardisation of Guarantees of Origin (GO) in line with the relev
31、ant Directives and existing voluntary schemes with the aim to create a standardised transferable GO that can be used for mainly disclosure and also supporting labelling. A GO is an instrument for proving production of energy in a specific source of production. There is an increasing demand from the
32、end customers side regarding reliable accounting of the origin of energy production. There is also an obligation for electricity suppliers to provide reliable disclosure information to end customers. A standardised system for GOs can fulfil these requirements. Standardisation of Guarantees of Origin
33、 will create a tool for fulfilling the requirements in the revised Renewable Energy Directive, the Electricity Market Directive and the Cogeneration Directive and to create a basis for further development of certification regarding the original electricity production. In this way a harmonised way to
34、 prove the origin of the electricity produced will be developed. These GOs can be used for trading and/or for disclosure/labelling of electricity. The Renewable Energy Directive and Cogeneration Directive regulates that the member states shall generally recognise the GOs issued by other member state
35、s. Further, the system should be fraud-resistant and avoid double-counting. Therefore a European Standard for GOs for all member states is important. The content of the standard can, after necessary modifications, for example, be applied to heating, cooling, and gas (including biogas). These modific
36、ations will not be included in this standard. The elaboration and publication of European Standards will allow certification bodies to develop their activities on consensual and recognised practices and this will increase the credibility of the certificates they deliver. 0.2 Experiences of the Assoc
37、iation of Issuing Bodies (AIB), Description of existing voluntary system (EECS) 0.2.1 Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) The AIB has as its purpose the development, use and promotion of a standardised system based on structures and procedures in order to ensure the reliable operation of internation
38、al certificate schemes which satisfy the criteria of objectivity, non-discrimination, transparency and costs effectiveness in order to facilitate the international exchange of certificates. 0.2.2 The EECS Rules The European Energy Certificate System (EECS) is a commercially funded, integrated Europe
39、an framework for issuing, holding, transferring and otherwise processing electronic records (EECS Certificates) certifying, in relation to specific quantities of output from power plants, attributes of its source and/or the method and quality of its production. The number of certificates issued to a
40、 power plant during a period will be directly proportional to the electricity produced by it during that period. These certificates guarantee the source of that electricity. EECS is governed by rules (the EECS Rules) which are intended to secure, in a manner that is consistent with European Communit
41、y law and relevant national laws, that systems operating within the EECS framework are reliable, secure and inter-operable. The implementation, under the EECS Rules, of harmonised standards for issuing and processing EECS Certificates enables the owners of EECS Certificates to transfer them to other
42、 account holders at both the domestic and international level.

43、gations of AIB members in connection with their membership. The AIB governs the EECS Rules, its members conducting reviews of each others operations. Members are responsible within set geographic “domains” for overseeing their customers compliance with these rules. The EECS Rules harmonise the creat
44、ion, maintenance, transfer, cancellation and other processing of EECS Certificates; setting requirements for member participation. EECS Certificates may be eligible as Guarantees of Origin issued pursuant to European Community legislation as implemented by member states; or in connection with other
45、legislative certification schemes or under other, entirely voluntary, arrangements. To become a member of an individual EECS Scheme, the relevant provisions applicable in that members domain should satisfy the requirements of the EECS Rules, including legislative and administrative arrangements for
46、the issue of such certificates. Each member produces a domain protocol, which legislative provisions ensure that the EECS Rules are satisfied. Account holders are not bound by the EECS Rules, but by the legislation to their domain. 0.2.3 Registration of production devices EECS Certificates can only
47、be issued to the owners of power plants that have successfully registered within a domain. To apply for registration under EECS, the owner of the power plant should provide information about themselves and the power plant, including the technology and energy sources, commissioning dates and capaciti
48、es, details of any public support that has been received, details of the arrangements for measuring energy sources and produced electricity, including any production auxiliaries, pumping stations and on-site demand. Registration requires the power plant to comply with both the law and with EECS with
49、 members being permitted to conduct physical inspections where necessary. 0.2.4 Issuing of EECS Certificates Once a power plant has been registered, then it can receive EECS Certificates. The produced electricity, along with any fuels used, may only be measured by an approved body. The EECS Certificates may only be traded for electricity supplied to the grid, nett o
