27、EN ISO 14065:2013ISO 14065:2013(E)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 carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body inte
28、rested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnica
29、l 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 Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the tec
30、hnical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International 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 this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO

32、007), of which it constitutes a minor revision. ISO 2013 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 14065:2013ISO 14065:2013(E)IntroductionClimate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing nations, governments, business, and citizens for the coming decades. Climate change has implicati
33、ons for both human and natural systems 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 greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the Earths atmosp
34、here. Such GHG initiatives rely on the quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of GHG emissions and/or removals.The overall aim of GHG validation or verification activities is to give confidence to all parties that rely upon a GHG assertion. The party making the GHG assertion is resp
35、onsible for conformity with requirements of the relevant standard or GHG programme. The validation or verification body is responsible for completing an objective assessment and providing a validation or verification statement concerning the responsible partys GHG assertion based on evidence. This I
36、nternational Standard provides requirements for bodies that undertake GHG validation or verification using ISO 14064-3 or other relevant standards or specifications. It contains a number of principles that these bodies should be able to demonstrate and provides specific requirements that reflect the
37、se principles. General requirements relate to matters such as legal and contractual arrangements, responsibilities, the management of impartiality, and issues of liability and financing. Specific requirements include provisions related to structures, resource requirements and competencies, informati
38、on and records management, validation and verification processes, appeals, complaints, and management systems.This International Standard provides GHG programme administrators, regulators, and accreditors with a basis for assessing and recognizing the competence of validation and verification bodies
39、. It can also be used in other ways, such as in peer assessment within groups of validation or of verification bodies or between such groups.Figure 1 and Annex A show relationships between the application of this International Standard and ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2, ISO 14064-3, and ISO 14066.vi ISO
