ISO 14064 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Validation and Verification Auditing Course

Validation is the systematic, independent, and documented process for the evaluation of a greenhouse gas (GHG) assertion in a GHG project plan against agreed validation criteria.
Validation is normally performed for GHG emission reduction projects before they are implemented and it helps ensure that the project conforms to the requirements of a standard or the rules of a GHG program. This 4-days course will provide detailed training on the approach to validation/Verification using the ISO 14064-3 standard, with specific examples of how the validation approach would be applied to a project that conforms with the ISO 14064-2 standard or the requirements of the WRI/WBCSD GHG Project Protocol.

Who Should Attend

• Consultants
• Auditors
• Chartered Accountants
• Professional Engineers interested in offering validation or verification services to the emerging carbon marketplace or for national and internationally regulated GHG programs

Key Course Objectives

Attendees at this course will learn how to enter the emerging carbon trading marketplace.  As carbon offset trading schemes and new government regulations increase, so will the need for qualified, independent GHG Validators.  This Validator/Verification course is formulated to equip all attendees with the knowledge to ensure that your projects conform to the requirements of ISO 14064 and the rules of the GHG program.  This course builds on the GHG Projects course (ISO 14064-2) and provides detailed training on the approach to validation/Verification using the ISO 14064-3 standard.

This course will explore the following concepts in detail:

• Planning the GHG quantification and Assessing your competencies to conduct the validation/Verification
• Establishing the validation/Verification scope, objectives, criteria, and level of assurance with the client
• Establishing a materiality threshold for the validation/verification
• Assessing the risks involved in a validation/verification
• Developing a validation/Verification  plan, including a sampling plan
• Assessing GHG information systems and controls
• Assessing the GHG documentation, data, information, and emission reduction or removal
• Estimates or measurements for the project
• Evaluating the GHG assertion against the agreed-upon verification/verification  criteria• Issuing the validation statement, including any limitations that may be put on the statement
