BS EN ISO 14065:2021 PDF Download

ISO 14065:2021, titled "General principles and requirements for bodies validating and verifying environmental information," provides guidelines for bodies involved in the validation and verification of environmental information statements. It specifies principles and requirements for the competence, consistent operation, and impartiality of these bodies. This standard is applicable to bodies performing validation, verification, and agreed-upon procedures in all areas of environmental information.

ISO 14065:2021 is intended for use by environment protection authorities, regulatory bodies, government authorities, and other organizations involved in validating and verifying environmental information. It is important to use this standard because environmental information is increasingly used for decision-making, and there is a need for guidelines to interpret and assess the accuracy and reliability of this information.

Since the previous version, EN ISO 14065:2013, the updated standard, BS EN ISO 14065:2021, has introduced several technical changes. The scope of the standard has been expanded to cover validation and verification in all areas of environmental information, not just limited to greenhouse gas emissions. It has been aligned with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17029. Additionally, new annexes have been added to address specific requirements applicable to green bonds, greenhouse gases, and non-financial disclosure.
