Group 1 — Installation and processes
Where the boundary actually sits.
- Site plan and unit layout.
- Installation boundary exactly as it will be reported — including what is excluded and why.
- Process flow diagram for each CBAM good produced.
- Production routes mapped to CN codes.
Group 2 — Inputs and energy
What went in.
- Fuel consumption by type and quantity for the reporting period.
- Electricity consumption and its source.
- Raw materials and precursors, with their origin.
- Embedded-emissions data for purchased precursors — supplier records, not generic factors, where an actual value is claimed.
Group 3 — Production
What came out.
- Production quantities per good and per CN code.
- Co-products and the allocation rules applied between them.
- Reconciliation of production quantities to commercial and operational records.
Group 4 — Measurement and quality
How you know.
- Meter specifications, ranges and data owners.
- Calibration certificates for every meter that feeds a reported figure.
- Fault and outage log.
- Sampling and laboratory procedures, including frequency.
- Emission factors, with source, version and applicability.
- Documented procedure for treating missing data.
Group 5 — Management
Who approved it.
- The monitoring plan, in the version actually applied.
- Quality-control procedures over data collection.
- Change log with approvals.
- Named data owner for each source stream.
- Prior reports and any restatements.
One test that predicts the whole verification
Readiness testTake any single figure in your draft report and trace it, without help, to a primary record with a date, an owner and an instrument behind it. If that takes more than a few minutes for a material figure, the file is not ready — and no amount of report formatting will change that.
CBAM accreditation status: our application has been formally accepted by ACCREDIA and the assessment is underway. Accredited CBAM verification will be offered only after formal accreditation is granted and within the approved scope. Full status record
