GHG Validation & Verification
Standard Overview
GHG Validation & Verification are two essential, closely related, but distinct assurance processes used to ensure the credibility, accuracy, and completeness of an organization’s or project’s claims regarding Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, removals, and reductions, following the international standards under the ISO 14064 series.
Standard Owner
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes voluntary standards to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems.

Recognition
QSI has been accredited by the National Accreditation Committee (KAN) as VVB for GHG Validation & Verification.

Verification and validation adds credibility to your emissions report and demonstrates transparency to stakeholders, investors, and regulators. It also strengthens ESG reporting and supports climate commitments.
It depends on your country and sector. Some regulations require it, while others make it voluntary but highly recommended for credibility and market access
Currently, we conduct verification in accordance with:
- ISO 14064-1
- ISO 15064-2
- ISO 14064-3
- ISO 14065
- ISO 17029
We work with organizations of all sizes across sectors such as:
Organization Verification
- Power Generation and Electric Power Transaction (01.01.01)
- General Manufacturing (Physical or Chemical Transformation of Materials or Substances into New Products (01.01.02)
- Waste Handling and Disposal (01.01.11)
- Agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) (01.01.12)
Project Verification
- Energy Industries (Pembangkit/En. Supply) (Renewable/Non-renewable Sources) (01.02.01)
- Manufacturing Industries (01.02.04)
- Waste Handling and Disposal (01.02.14)
- Aforestation and Reforestation (01.02.15)
- Agriculture (01.02.16)

Yes. Your GHG inventory must already be prepared according to ISO 14064-1 or ISO 14064-2 before the verification/validation process begins.
To maintain impartiality, we cannot prepare your inventory. However, we can guide you on requirements and recommend general best practices. On the other hands, we can provide training on the respective standards to help you understand better
Yes—especially for reasonable assurance engagements. Some limited assurance verifications may be conducted remotely.
Costs vary depending on:
- Company size and number of facilities
- Scope (Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions)
- Level of assurance
We provide a customized quotation after reviewing your application.
- Missing or inconsistent data
- Incorrect emission factors
- Lack of documentation
- Poor internal controls
