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.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso
.org/iso/foreword .html.This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management,
Subcommittee SC 7, Greenhouse gas management and related activities.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14064-1:2006), which has been
technically revised.The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows.
— A new approach has been introduced to reporting boundaries, facilitating the inclusion and
expansion of indirect emissions. This change is a response to a growing number of organizations
that are recognizing the importance and significance of indirect emissions and are developing GHG
inventories that include more types of indirect emissions across the value chain.
— The GHG emissions category “other indirect GHG emissions” has been renamed “indirect GHG
emissions.” Requirements and guidance have been provided for classification of indirect GHG
emissions into five specific categories. “Operational boundaries” has been renamed “reporting
boundaries” for clarification and simplicity.— New requirements and guidance for GHG quantification and reporting of specific items, such as
the treatment of biogenic carbon and GHG emissions related to electricity, have been added for
clarification.A list of all parts in the ISO 14064 series can be found on the ISO website.
This document is the generic standard for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emission
and removals at an organizational level.Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
0.1 Background
Climate change arising from anthropogenic activity has been identified as one of the greatest challenges
facing the world and will continue to affect business and citizens over future decades.
Climate change has implications for both human and natural systems and could lead to significant
impacts on resource availability, economic activity and human wellbeing. In response, international,
regional, national and local initiatives are being developed and implemented by public and private
sectors to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere, as well as to
facilitate adaptation to climate change.There is a need for an effective and progressive response to the urgent threat of climate change
on the basis of the best available scientific knowledge. ISO produces documents that support the
transformation of scientific knowledge into tools that will help address climate change.
GHG initiatives on mitigation rely on the quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification of GHG
emissions and/or removals.The ISO 14060 family provides clarity and consistency for quantifying, monitoring, reporting and
validating or verifying GHG emissions and removals to support sustainable development through a low-
carbon economy and to benefit organizations, project proponents and interested parties worldwide.
Specifically, the use of the ISO 14060 family:— enhances the environmental integrity of GHG quantification;
— enhances the credibility, consistency and transparency of GHG quantification, monitoring, reporting,
verification and validation;— facilitates the development and implementation of GHG management strategies and plans;
— facilitates the development and implementation of mitigation actions through emission reductions
or removal enhancements;— facilitates the ability to track performance and progress in the reduction of GHG emissions and/or
increase in GHG removals.Applications of the ISO 14060 family include:
— corporate decisions, such as identifying emission reduction opportunities and increasing
profitability by reducing energy consumption;— risks and opportunities management, such as climate-related risks, including financial, regulatory,
supply chain, product and customer, litigation, reputational risks and its opportunity for business
(e.g. new market, new business model);— voluntary initiatives, such as participation in voluntary GHG registries or sustainability reporting
initiatives;— GHG markets, such as the buying and selling of GHG allowances or credits;
— regulatory/government GHG programmes, such as credit for early action, agreements or national
and local reporting initiatives.This document details principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing and reporting
organization-level GHG inventories. It includes requirements for determining GHG emission and removal
boundaries, quantifying an organization’s GHG emissions and removals, and identifying specific
company actions or activities aimed at improving GHG management. It also includes requirements
and guidance on inventory quality management, reporting, internal auditing and the organization’s
responsibilities in verification activities.vi © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved

ISO 14064-2 details principles and requirements for determining baselines, and monitoring, quantifying
and reporting of project emissions. It focuses on GHG projects or project-based activities specifically
designed to reduce GHG emissions and/or enhance GHG removals. It provides the basis for GHG projects
to be verified and validated.ISO 14064-3 details requirements for verifying GHG statements related to GHG inventories, GHG projects,
and carbon footprints of products. It describes the process for verification or validation, including
verification or validation planning, assessment procedures, and the evaluation of organizational,
project and product GHG statements.ISO 14065 defines requirements for bodies that validate and verify GHG statements. Its requirements
cover impartiality, competence, communication, validation and verification processes, appeals,
complaints and the management system of validation and verification bodies. It can be used as a
basis for accreditation and other forms of recognition in relation to the impartiality, competence and
consistency of validation and verification bodies.ISO 14066 specifies competence requirements for validation teams and verification teams. It includes
principles and specifies competence requirements based on the tasks that validation teams or
verification teams have to be able to perform.ISO 14067 defines the principles, requirements and guidelines for the quantification of the carbon
footprint of products. The aim of ISO 14067 is to quantify GHG emissions associated with the life cycle
stages of a product, beginning with resource extraction and raw material sourcing and extending
through the production, use and end-of-life phases of the product.ISO/TR 14069 assists users in the application of this document, providing guidelines and examples
for improving transparency in the quantification of emissions and their reporting. It does not provide
additional guidance to this document.Figure 1 illustrates the relationship among the ISO 14060 family of GHG standards.

0.2 Base GHG quantification concepts used by this document
This document incorporates many key concepts developed over a number of years. References listed in
the Bibliography provide (examples of) additional guidance on these concepts.0.3 Significance of the terms “document”, “explain” and “justify” in this document
Some clauses require users of this document to document, explain and justify the use of certain
approaches or decisions taken.Document involves capturing and storing the pertinent information in writing.
Explain involves two additional criteria:
a) describe how approaches were used or decisions taken, and
b) describe why approaches were chosen or decisions made.
Justify involves an additional third and fourth criteria:
c) explain why alternative approaches were not chosen, and
d) provide supporting data or analysis.
