SGS Granted Recommendation For Accreditation For EU ETS Aviation Verification
The UKAS recommendation for accreditation for EU ETS Aviation to SGS UK Limited comes as the airlines gear up to be verified under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) for the first time.
- (1888PressRelease) September 11, 2010 - With the 2010 reporting and verification deadline fast approaching for companies involved in the EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading Scheme), large numbers of aircraft operators are now considering engagement of verification bodies. Whilst some initiated the process early in the year, many are yet to identify and select verifiers in time for the imminent reporting deadline of 31st March 2011.
The inclusion of aviation sector into the EU ETS scheme commenced from 2010 and will require independent verification from accredited verification bodies of their 2010 tonne-kilometre data and annual emissions.
Having provided GHG Emissions Verification, including EU ETS Verification, for over 10 years, SGS are in a strong position to extend this service to the aviation sector providing them with greater assurance that the verifier they have selected brings with them extensive experience with the scheme and verification of GHG emissions.
SGS initiated the verification process for a number of operators earlier in the year such as British Airways, enabling timely identification of non-conformity and non-compliances with their systems and data. Airlines are urged to engage accredited verifiers to secure verifier availability and avoid capacity issues in the period from January to March.
