This Standard specifies GHG Validation and Verification principles together with specific requirements and provides guidance for verifying and validating greenhouse gas (GHG) statements. It is applicable to organization, project and product GHG statements. The course provides specific examples of how the validation and verification approaches are applied to GHG inventories, project and carbon footprints of products that conform with ISO 14064-1 and 14064-2 and ISO 14067 Standards. The ISO 14064 family of standards is GHG programme neutral. If a GHG programme is applicable, requirements of that GHG programme are additional to the requirements of the ISO 14064 family of standards.
