Accreditation & Compliance · Accreditation Programs
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.
