Under this approach, companies consolidate 100 % of the emissions of those operations over which they have financial control; as an exception, consolidation according to equity share is required for joint ventures where partners have joint financial control. 3.14 fossil carbon carbon derived from fossil fuel or other fossil source 3.15 greenhouse gas GHG gaseous constituent of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorbs and emits radiation at specific wavelengths

The present standardization work is based on the results of the EC/EFTA programming Mandate M/431 to establish a programme of standards for assessing the GHG emissions in energy-intensive industries, which is a true dissemination result of the preparatory work for Mandate M/478 in terms of gap analysis of EN and ISO standards as well as existing protocols. Following this gap analysis the SIST EN 19694-1:2017
EN 19694-1:2016 (E) 11 European Commission sent in December 2010 the standardization mandate M/478 to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for the development of European Standards in the field of greenhouse gas emissions. The standardization work is coherent with EU policies, especially with the Energy and Climate package of January 2008, and the Sustainable Consumption and Production and Sustainable Industrial Policy Action Plan COM(2008) 397. Section II of Mandate M/478 mandates the establishment of a set of EN standards, which contain harmonized and verified methods for measuring, testing and quantifying GHG emissions from five sector-specific industry sectors, and one standard on general aspects. In particular, the standards contain harmonized methods for: a) measuring, testing and quantifying GHG emissions from sector-specific sources; b) assessing the level of GHG emissions performance of production processes over time, at production sites; c) establishing and providing reliable, accurate and quality information for reporting and verification purposes. This standard deals with the general aspects and is a generic “umbrella standard” which defines common methodological issues and overall requirements, which are applicable to all sectors covered. The basic vision of this framework standard of GHG emissions for energy intensive industries is to develop by experts of energy intensive industries under the umbrella of CEN and EC (Mandate M 478) a tool establishing common verified rules for the participating industries. This standard shall enable industry to manage the GHG emissions output of the production processes and to allow performance assessment between plants and over time. The objective is to improve continuously the reduction potential of the production processes by acting on the emission performance over time. Therefore the standard contributes to competitiveness of industry and is a tool formalizing business’ contribution in providing emission reductions in their operations and in developing low carbon technology solutions to the market. Accounting and performance assessment of GHG shall be based on the principles as described in the following paragraphs. For high accuracy it has to be ensured that the quantification of GHG emissions is systematically neither over nor below actual emissions, as far as may be judged, and that uncertainties are reduced as far as practicable (see also Chapter 9). Sufficient accuracy should be achieved to enable users to make decisions with reasonable assurance as to the integrity of the reported information. All relevant issues should be addressed in a factual and coherent manner, based on a clear audit trail, to aim at transparency. Any relevant assumptions should be disclosed and appropriate references should be made to the accounting and mass balance methodologies and data sources used. Consistent methodologies should be used to allow for meaningful comparison of emissions over time. Any changes to the data, inventory boundary, methods, or any other relevant factors in the time series should be documented transparently. It should be ensured that the GHG inventory appropriately reflects the relevant GHG emissions of the reporting entity and serves the decision-making needs of users – both internal and external to the organization. The operator should account for and report on all GHG emission sources and activities within the chosen inventory boundary. To reach completeness any gaps should be avoided and any specific exclusion shall be disclosed and justified. The standard aims to meet the following additional rules. Double counting at plant, organization, group, national, and international levels should be avoided. Different drivers of emissions (technological SIST EN 19694-1:2017
EN 19694-1:2016 (E) 12 improvement, internal and external growth) should be distinguishable. Emissions may be reported in absolute as well as specific (unit-based) terms. The full range of achieved direct and indirect GHG abatements should be reflected. The standard also provides a flexible tool supporting the needs of different monitoring and reporting purposes, such as: internal management and public corporate reporting of GHG emission performance according to the production processes on a production site. The purpose of this standard is not to prescribe specific requirements for verification or certification of methods, measurements, calculations or resulting data. However, due to the nature of the issues concerned, and their wide public interest, verification and certification should be prepared for. Hence the operator should organize files and records in such a way that they are easily retrievable and traceable. Documentation of: — personnel qualifications, — methods applied, — time series of measurements performed, — calibration status of equipment used, — calculations of emissions, etc. These documents should be readily available for corporate internal verification, second party (i.e. customer) verification or third party certification if required by stakeholders. Mandate M/478 distinguishes between "Measuring, testing and quantifying for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (…)" and "Assessing the level of greenhouse gas emissions performance of production processes (…)". Usually performance indicators are calculated from the inventory data. Within this standard "Measuring, testing and quantifying for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions" is understood to be the emissions inventory of a site (plant, facility) including energy flows and material flows leaving or entering the system boundaries. Typically, inventory data are absolute data. Inventory data should represent the original data set without any corrections, adaptations, etc. for example with regard to other energy indirect GHG emissions. This standard utilizes metric units. Performance assessment has to consider sector-specific conditions. Performance assessment may be based on absolute and/or (product-) specific data and may require corrections or adaptations in order to allow a fair and transparent comparison of plants. This standard is not appropriate for use of life cycle analysis and product carbon footprint. 6 System boundaries 6.1 Organizational boundaries This standard may be applied based on an organization, facility or plant. The organization may comprise one or more facilities and a facility may comprise one or more plants. Facility-level
