Accredited Verification Services under EU ETS

Ecoxy provides third-party verification services under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). As an independent and accredited verifier, we assess your monitoring and annual greenhouse gas emissions reporting. Ecoxy has been accredited for this service since 2014 and verifies around 40 installations per year, across various land-based industries and offshore facilities.

Why You Need an Independent Verifier
At Ecoxy, we assist organizations ensure their GHG emissions data is correct and trustworthy. We are accredited under ISO 17029 and ISO 14065 and specialize in climate data and environmental reporting. Our verification services support compliance with EU ETS.

What Does Verification Involve?
A verifier reviews and confirms that your reported emissions are:

• Accurate and correctly documented
• In line with current regulations and international standards
• Ready for public disclosure, audits, and regulatory review

This gives you confidence in your data – both internally and externally.

A Clear and Predictable Process
We work closely with you throughout the process – from planning and data collection to the final verification report. Our expertise ensures a structured, efficient process with minimal disruption to your operations.

Site Visits and Risk Assessments
Under the EU ETS, verifiers are typically required to visit the facility each year. However, some sites may apply for an exemption from site visits by submitting an application to the Norwegian Environment Directorate. This application must include a risk assessment performed by an accredited verifier – a service Ecoxy also provides.

For installations with low emissions (<25,000 tonnes CO₂), the verifier may independently assess whether a site visit is necessary, without requiring a formal exemption application from the company.

Standard NS-EN ISO/IEC 17029:2019
Ecoxy is accredited according to the new standard NS-EN ISO/IEC 17029:2019 “General principles and requirements for validation and verification bodies”. The new standard allows for the accreditation of validation and verification bodies in a larger area than the climate emission-specific standard NS-EN ISO 14065:2021.

Ecoxy can thereby verify and validate statements and reports according to standardized methods, across different sectors. The new standard specifies the requirements for the verification bodies, and describes how verification and validation of organisations’ statements and reports must take place on a uniform basis. Accredited verification and validation by an independent third party provides assurance to your customers, partners and suppliers that the information you share is accurate and reliable.
