Accreditation that means something to regulators and markets
EDAT operates in alignment with ISO 14065 and ISO/IEC 17029, the international standards that define credible GHG validation and verification bodies.
Why accreditation matters, and what ours means
ISO 14065 is the international standard that specifies the requirements for bodies that validate or verify GHG statements. ISO/IEC 17029 is the broader standard for all validation and verification bodies. Accreditation by a recognised national accreditation body (such as ANAB, UKAS, or JAS-ANZ) confirms that a verification body's quality management system, personnel competence, and impartiality controls have been independently assessed against these standards.
EDAT operates under an ISO 14065 and ISO/IEC 17029 aligned quality management system and is actively pursuing formal accreditation from a recognised accreditation body. Our current accreditation status and scope are published transparently on our accreditation page and updated as our scope evolves.
