The ISO Value Add Process Systematic participation by up to 140 countries and liaison bodies. ISO standards represent international consensus. ISO standards are “living documents”. Verifiability WG5 intends to develop GHG quantification standards that can be verified by independent third parties. WG5 is developing a validation/verification standard. Infrastructure ISO federation includes extensive network of national bodies and associated accreditation/verification systems. Opportunity to reduce transaction costs. Reputation The ISO mark has credibility. ISO standards are used as international benchmarks of good practice.

Consistency Issues Entity vs. Project Consistency important in both areas (eg, markets, transaction costs). Perhaps more challenging for projects given technical complexities (eg, baseline, additionality, leakage). “Technical” and “GHG scheme/regime” components. Important Areas Boundaries (eg, organizational, project, emissions). Baseline, additionality, leakage rules. Level of assurance (eg, 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd party validation / verification). “Quality” of GHG Units Diminish market liquidity (eg, ability to buy and sell at will) in some segments? Increase transaction costs, slow down investment? Decrease market confidence, increase public skepticism. Assuring Consistency International standards. ISO WG5’s stated goal is that ISO 14064 should be compatible with the GHG Protocol.

Guiding Principles Technical rigour. Speed to market. Extensive participation. Policy/regime neutral.
