Connect with a Verification Body
When a verification body has both completed the training requirements AND achieved its ISO 14065: 2007, ISO 14064-3: 2006, and IAF MD 6: 2009 Accreditation, it may advertise that it is “recognized and qualified as a verification body for the Climate Action Reserve.” All Verification Bodies are listed on ANSI’s website here, along with all applicants currently undergoing the accreditation process.
Verification bodies that are currently undergoing the accreditation process and have not yet completed the process are allowed to perform verification activities for projects listed under the Reserve if they have already met the training requirements. However, CRTs will not be issued to those projects until the verification body has received its formal accreditation. The verification body should notify the project developer of the circumstances surrounding its expected accreditation and this should be addressed in its verification contract.
If a verification body is having trouble locating a client to get witnessed under or having problems getting a project developer to agree to these terms, it should notify the Reserve staff at (213) 891-1444 ext.3 or reserve@climateregistry.org and our team can help coordinate a verification.
Note that verification bodies must have two or more lead verifiers trained on each project type for which they wish to perform verifications. For verification bodies looking for subcontracted services from individual verifiers, they may see the list of all individuals that have passed our project protocol specific trainings here: Individual Verifiers. Note that if a verification body wishes to use a subcontracted verifier from outside their organization they must submit to the Reserve an updated Designated Staff Form and disclose the individual on all NOVA/COI documentation for the particular project verification(s).
