Accreditation as a Validation and Verification Body for Greenhouse Gases
The DIN ISO/IEC 17029 regulates the accreditation and access eligibility of independent bodies for validation and verification, in conjunction with ISO 14065, for greenhouse gases and emissions data in the context of sustainability. This standard differs significantly from previous procedures, as it not only verifies existing facts but also validates future plans.
Communicating Sustainability with Credibility: How Independent Verification and ISO/IEC 17029 Can Strengthen Your Competitiveness
If your company claims sustainability, it is essential to be able to prove it. Otherwise, there is a risk that customers, investors, and business partners will not trust you or may even distrust you. Moreover, in the future, external verification of environmental claims will become the norm, alongside increasingly stringent product compliance requirements.
That is why it is crucial that your statements and reports are validated or verified by an independent, impartial, and professionally competent body. This not only provides you with security but also gives you a competitive advantage. The new international standard ISO/IEC 17029:2019 provides a reliable foundation for this. It sets clear requirements for validation and verification bodies, creating a unified basis for the conformity assessment of any type of statements and reports.
