Danem Test & Certificate supports organizations with carbon footprint verification, helping turn emissions data into third-party-verifiable statements suitable for customers, tenders, and customs reporting.
We support clients from early scoping through data readiness review, evidence planning, and coordination of verification activities. Our approach is tailored to your reporting boundary, data availability, and intended use of the results, so the verification process stays predictable and practical.
From the outset, we define scope, timelines, and required evidence, ensuring a structured path from initial assessment to a clear verification outcome.
What Is ISO 14065 Verification?
ISO 14065 specifies principles and requirements for bodies performing validation and verification of environmental information statements, including greenhouse gas statements. It is commonly used as the basis for demonstrating verifier competence and impartiality and is aligned as a sector application of ISO/IEC 17029.
In practice, carbon footprint verification typically builds on established quantification and reporting standards (e.g., ISO 14064 family) and confirms that calculations, boundaries, methods, and evidence are consistent, traceable, and suitable for the intended purpose.
Carbon Footprint Verification Process
Our ISO 14065-based verification support process is structured to keep requirements clear and ensure verification readiness.
1. Scope and boundary definition
We confirm the intended use of the statement, reporting boundary, methodologies, and verification criteria.
3. Verification planning and execution support
We support the verification plan, sampling approach, and responses to findings to keep the process efficient.
2. Data and evidence readiness review
We review activity data, emission factors, calculation files, and supporting evidence to identify gaps early.
4. Final outputs and reporting readiness
We help finalize a verification-ready statement and supporting documentation package for stakeholders or programs.

What is the difference between carbon footprint calculation and verification?
Calculation is the quantification of emissions; verification is an independent assessment of whether the data, methods, and evidence support a credible statement suitable for its intended use.
Which standard should we use: ISO 14064-1 or ISO 14067?
ISO 14064-1 is commonly used for organizational GHG inventories, while ISO 14067 focuses on product carbon footprint. Your choice depends on whether you report at company level or product level.
Is ISO 14065 the standard we certify against as a company?
Usually no. ISO 14065 sets requirements for verification/validation bodies, not for organizations reporting emissions. Organizations typically follow reporting standards (e.g., ISO 14064/14067), which can then be verified.
What evidence is typically needed for verification?
Most projects require activity data (energy, fuel, materials), emission factors/sources, calculation files, meter/invoice extracts, and documented boundaries and assumptions. The exact list is confirmed during scoping.
How long does carbon footprint verification take?
Timelines depend on scope size, data quality, and readiness of evidence. A structured readiness review upfront is the best way to keep the verification schedule predictable.
