Validation/Verification Activity
“Climate change arising from anthropogenic activity has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing the world and will continue to affect business and citizens over future decades.” (Introduction ISO 14064-3:2019). CBQA Global offers verification service for your GHG statements at organization level based on ISO 14064-1 and validation and verification services for your GHG statements at project level. A mixed engagement is an engagement combining verification and validation activities performed at the same time and on the same GHG statement

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

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
