The definitive regime has applied since 1 January 2026. We say exactly where our accreditation stands, and we do not sell what has not been granted.
CBAM · definitive period
The regime is running. The evidence file is the work.
A controlled monitoring plan, production and precursor data that can be traced to source, and a file that survives independent examination — under Regulation (EU) 2023/956 and the implementing acts that govern the definitive period.
CBAM — how the evidence file is builtNothing is requested from the external source until you press play.
CBAM accreditation status
Assessment underway — not yet granted
Energy Up International's application for accreditation as a CBAM verifier has been formally accepted by ACCREDIA under case C DC 07/2026, and the assessment process is underway. Accredited CBAM verification will be offered only after formal accreditation is granted and only within the approved scope.
What we offer today: a non-accredited readiness review of the evidence file with full team separation; general training on CBAM requirements; and product carbon footprint verification under ISO 14067, but only for products inside the published EGAC scope. None of these outputs is marketed as a CBAM verification report.

The legal obligation sits in the EU. The data quality sits with you.
The authorised CBAM declarant inside the European Union carries the annual declaration and certificate-surrender obligations. The operator outside the EU supplies installation and embedded-emissions data. But the quality of that data decides whether actual values can be used instead of defaults — and that is where the commercial difference lives.
Since 2026 the mechanism applies to importers above a single mass threshold of 50 tonnes of CBAM goods per year. The first annual declaration, covering 2026 imports, falls due by 30 September 2027. Source: European Commission — CBAM definitive regime, checked 01 September 2026.

Not yet. Our application has been formally accepted by ACCREDIA under case C DC 07/2026 and the assessment is underway. Accredited CBAM verification will be offered only after accreditation is granted, and only within the approved scope. We do not sell what has not been granted.
A non-accredited readiness review of the evidence file with full team separation, general training on CBAM requirements, and product carbon footprint verification under ISO 14067:2018 within our existing accredited scope. Each is described for what it is, and none of them is a CBAM verification.
Regulation (EU) 2023/956 establishes the mechanism. The implementing and delegated acts adopted for the definitive period govern the calculation methods, the monitoring plan, the emissions report, default values and the verification principles. Where a summary here differs from the published text, the published text governs.
Whether each reported figure can be traced to its primary source; whether the monitoring plan was followed in practice; how data gaps were handled and justified; the treatment of precursors and of purchased electricity; and whether misstatements, individually or together, exceed the materiality threshold that applies to the goods concerned.
Common questions
The questions that come before a contract.
These are the questions we are actually asked before an engagement starts. If yours is not here, ask it directly — a straight answer costs both sides less than a wrong assumption.
Tell us what must be relied on, who will rely on it and by what date. We will confirm the correct programme, evidence requirement and responsible entity — or tell you it is outside our scope.
