ISO – International Organisation for
Standardization
Network of the national standards
institutes of 158 countries, on the basis
of one member per country, with a
Central Secretariat in Geneva,
Switzerland
ISO
• The world's largest developer of standards;
• Principal activity is the development of
technical standards (international consensus) –
more than 35,000 IS;
• Large economic (influence in the international
trade) and social repercussions;
• Useful to:
– Industrial and business organizations;
– governments and other regulatory bodies;
– suppliers and customers of products and
services;
– people in general.
Technical Committees: 193
• ISO TC 207 – Environmental Management
• ISO TC 176 – Quality Management
Working Groups: 2,244
Ad hoc study groups: 64
• ISO 26000 – Corporate Social Responsibility

ISO documents
Beyond IS, ISO produces other kind of
documents:
- ISO Guides;
- ISO technical specifications;
- ISO technical reports (Informative
documents to support IS)
ISO documents
ISO: studying ways to reduce the time for IS
approval (usually 3 years) – using
electronic resources (documents and
vote)
All ISO documents are revised, at least, each
5 years

• Direct GHG emissions and removals; energy indirect
GHG emissions; indirect GHG emissions
• Quantification methodology
• Uncertainly – parameter associated with the result of
quantification which characterizes the dispersion of the
values that could be reasonably attributed to the
quantified amount
• Requirement for quality management of data compilation
• Reporting
• Verification

ISO 14064 Part 2: Key Issues
• Ensuring completeness in quantification of all
relevant emissions reductions and removal
enhancements;
• Tracking the impacts of project-based activities and
induced emissions (or leakage);
• Identifying the environmental additionality of
emissions reduction or removal enhancement
projects; and
• Promoting transparency and considering public
access to relevant project information.
ISO 14064 Part 2: Future Application
The standard should provide guidance on good
practices for:
• project developers regardless of which
emissions reduction regime they operate
within;
• validators of emissions reduction or removal
enhancement projects;
• administrators and regime developers; and
• investors and financiers seeking to evaluate
project design documents.

• Organizations.
• Project Proponents.
ISO 14064 - Benefits:
• Support the environmental integrity of
GHG assertions;
• Promote and harmonize best practice;
• Assist organizations to manage GHG –
related risks;
• Promote investor confidence and
facilitate trade;
• Flexible, regime-neutral tools for use in
voluntary or regulatory GHG schemes.
Other benefits of using ISO 14064
• Internal:
– Providing technical guidance
– Ensuring consistency of a GHG management
scheme
• External:
– Enhancing credibility of a GHG management
approach (e.g. in communications with stakeholders)
– Enhancing compatibility with external requirements
Potential Use of ISO 14064
• Organizations:
– Companies with significant direct and indirect climate
impacts
• For large transnational corporations for GHG management,
including internal emission trading;
• For responsible management of their environmental impacts
and preparing for the “greening of the market”;
• For identification of GHG issues in the supply chain;
• In SMEs: quick scan of potential emissions and reductions and
estimation of CDM or JI potential
– Service companies (e.g. verifiers of inventories,
brokers of GHG projects)
– Non-business organizations, such as municipalities or
international financial institutions, (e.g. World Bank)
Potential Use of ISO 14064
• National and International Policies:
• Any policies that require quantification and reporting of
GHG emissions;
• Bottom-up approach to compiling UNFCCC national
inventories (might be especially relevant for some
transition countries);
• Implementation of emission trading schemes
• Development of National CDM strategies and quickscan for CDM eligibility of projects
• Development of “green investment funds”
• Voluntary initiatives for GHG reporting or GHG
management (e.g. Global Reporting Initiative)
Summary
• Climate change programmes (voluntary, mandatory) have or are
being developed in many jurisdictions – there is a need for
consistency in GHG quantification, verification and accreditation
approaches to reduce duplication, minimize costs and provide
for comparability.
• ISO 14064/5 standards:
- Are GHG policy neutral;
- Can be applied across organization and project types,
sizes and sectors;
- Satisfy an important market need;
- Involve a wide range of stakeholders;
- Act as a common “building block” to initiatives or GHG
programmes;
- Are auditable (i.e., validation / verification).
• ISO 14064/5 is not a GHG programme or scheme, but specific
GHG quantification, verification and accreditation tools for use
by organizations, project proponents or GHG programmes.
