13、n) 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 interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be rep
14、resented 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 Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards a
15、re 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 technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Internatio
16、nal 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 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 14066 was pr
17、epared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, Subcommittee SC 7, Greenhouse gas management and related activities. BS ISO 14066:2011ISO 14066:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard specifies competence requirements for validation teams an
18、d verification teams for the benefit of greenhouse gas (GHG) programme administrators, regulators, validation bodies and verification bodies. To achieve consistency in the international marketplace and maintain public confidence in GHG reporting and other communications, there is a need to define co
19、mpetence requirements for validation teams and verification teams. Requirements for GHG validation bodies and GHG verification bodies are established in ISO 14065. ISO 14065 requires that validation bodies and verification bodies establish and maintain a procedure to manage the competence of its per
20、sonnel undertaking the various validation or verification activities within the team appointed for the engagement. It is the role of the validation or verification body to ensure that teams have the necessary competence to effectively complete the validation or verification process. This Internation
21、al Standard includes principles for ensuring competence of validation teams and verification teams. Supporting these principles are general requirements based on the tasks that validation teams or verification teams need to be able to perform and the competence required to do so. This International
22、Standard can be used in conjunction with ISO 14065 as the basis for assessing and recognizing the competence of validation teams and verification teams. Users of this International Standard are encouraged to refer to ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14064-2 for GHG quantification and reporting and to ISO 14064-3
23、 for GHG validation and verification. Figure 1 shows the relationships between the application of this International Standard and ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2, ISO 14064-3 and ISO 14065.

27、ation teams and verification teams. This International Standard complements the implementation of ISO 14065. This International Standard is not linked to any particular greenhouse gas (GHG) programme. If a particular GHG programme is applicable, competence requirements of that GHG programme are addi
28、tional to the requirements of this International Standard. NOTE Requirements for the management and support of personnel competence are specified in ISO 14065:2007, Clause 6. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated r
29、eferences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

31、 technical area sharing common attributes and similar GHG sources, sinks and reservoirs NOTE The abbreviated term SSRs is used to define sources, sinks and reservoirs. 3.1.2 team leader person who manages the validation team or verification team 3.1.3 professional scepticism attitude that includes a
32、 questioning mind and a critical assessment of evidence NOTE Taken from International Framework for Assurance Engagements16, paragraph 40.

33、y implies exhibiting appropriate personal behaviour when conducting the validation or verification. NOTE 2 Adapted from ISO 19011:, definition 3.14. NOTE 3 When defining competence, the following meanings have been applied to the words used: knowledge refers to facts and methods, i.e. to know; skill
34、s means to carry out in practice, i.e. to do. NOTE 4 This International Standard uses the term “competence” instead of “competency”. The meanings of the terms are differentiated as follows: competence is defined as the broad range of knowledge, skills, attitudes and observable behaviour that togethe
35、r comprise the ability to deliver a specified professional service; it also involves adoption of a professional approach that values accountability to the public and leadership in professional practice, the public sector, the corporate sector and education; competency is defined as the particular ta
36、sks that competent personnel perform while applying, or bringing to bear, the pervasive qualities and skills that are characteristic of competent personnel to the level of proficiency defined as appropriate by the profession. 3.1.5 test audit technique used to assess a characteristic of items in a s
