Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14065 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, Subcommittee
SC 7, Green house gas management and related activities.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14065:2007), of which it constitutes a
minor revision.

Introduction
Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing nations, governments,
business, and citizens for the coming decades. Climate change has implications for both human and
natural systems and could lead to significant changes in resource use, production, and economic activity.
In response, international, regional, national, and local initiatives are being developed and implemented
to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere. Such GHG initiatives rely on the
quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of GHG emissions and/or removals.
The overall aim of GHG validation or verification activities is to give confidence to all parties that rely upon
a GHG assertion. The party making the GHG assertion is responsible for conformity with requirements
of the relevant standard or GHG programme. The validation or verification body is responsible for
completing an objective assessment and providing a validation or verification statement concerning the
responsible party’s GHG assertion based on evidence. This International Standard provides requirements
for bodies that undertake GHG validation or verification using ISO 14064-3 or other relevant standards
or specifications. It contains a number of principles that these bodies should be able to demonstrate and
provides specific requirements that reflect these principles. General requirements relate to matters
such as legal and contractual arrangements, responsibilities, the management of impartiality, and
issues of liability and financing. Specific requirements include provisions related to structures, resource
requirements and competencies, information and records management, validation and verification
processes, appeals, complaints, and management systems.
This International Standard provides GHG programme administrators, regulators, and accreditors with
a basis for assessing and recognizing the competence of validation and verification bodies. It can also be
used in other ways, such as in peer assessment within groups of validation or of verification bodies or
between such groups.
Figure 1 and Annex A show relationships between the application of this International Standard and
ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2, ISO 14064-3, and ISO 14066.
