Climate Change

Standards, Schemes & Directives

Below are the full list of all standards, schemes and directives relevant to helping you achieve your climate change objectives by enhancing your management systems.



Standards, Schemes and Directives

  • Greenhouse gas emissions

    LRQA work with organisations to help them demonstrate their emission reductions and compliance with national requirements.

  • ISO 14001

    ISO 14001 is the international standard for an environmental quality management system.

  • ISO 14064

    ISO 14064 is an international standard against which GHG emissions reports are voluntarily verified.

  • Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS 2007)

    The VCS 2007 aims to provide a trustworthy, robust global standard for voluntary carbon offsets.

  • Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

    CDM validation is the independent evaluation of a project activity against the requirements of CDM. It is based on the project's design documentation, in particular the project's baseline, monitoring plan and compliance with relevant UNFCCC and host party criteria, to establish whether tradable credits are generated.

  • PAS 2050

    PAS 2050 provides a consistent method for assessing the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint) of goods and services.

  • EU ETS Aviation

    Aviation has been added to the EU ETS (Emission Trading Scheme). Recent EU regulations require aircraft operators to monitor and report verified data on CO2 emissions arising from aviation activities on intra-EU flights and all flights entering and departing from EU airports.

  • Emissions Trading Scheme

    A process which verifies that a company's reported greenhouse gas emissions are accurate and conform to the applicable scheme and national requirements.
