ISO 14065 Validation & Verification Bodies

Indian use case

Accredited Carbon Verification (ACV) agencies under India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) must be accredited to ISO 14065; the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) accredits verifiers against it. It is the companion to ISO 14064-3.

Key points

• Sets impartiality, competence and process requirements for verification/validation bodies.
• Underpins accreditation of GHG verifiers (used with ISO 14064-3).
• 2020 edition broadened scope from GHG to environmental information generally.
