ISO 14064-2
Verification
Verification is applied when the emissions, removals and/or storage are historical, and the verifier can obtain sufficient evidence about the emissions, removals and/or storage, and if a controls approach is used or a limited level of assurance is applied, the verifier has access to the controls for testing
Validation
Validation is applied when the emissions, removals and/or storage will occur in the future, and the validator can obtain sufficient evidence that the emissions, removals and/or storage are
likely to occur, and the design of the data management systems, including the controls, are
likely to be effective
