ISO 14069 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Organization Level Test
The ISO 14069 standard provides a framework to ensure that greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories are prepared with integrity, accuracy, and consistency. This service focuses on the Organization Level Test, which is designed for organizations looking to establish or improve their GHG inventory management systems.
The ISO 14069 standard emphasizes the importance of a structured approach in compiling organizational-level inventories. Organizations must identify all sources and sinks of greenhouse gases within their operational boundaries, including direct emissions from company-owned operations and indirect emissions resulting from purchased goods and services. This service ensures that organizations meet these criteria through comprehensive testing.
During this test, our experts will review the methodologies used for data collection, categorization, and reporting of GHG emissions. We ensure compliance with international standards such as ISO 14069:2018. Our team will also provide recommendations to enhance accuracy and consistency in future inventories.
The service includes a detailed report that outlines the testing process, findings, and recommendations for improvement. This document serves as an essential tool for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams responsible for environmental sustainability within organizations.
