Which entity is responsible for what.
Group membership never transfers an accreditation or a certification mandate from one entity to another. This table is the practical answer to “who do I actually contract with, and who do I complain to”.
Three entities, eight questions.
| Energy Up International LLC | Global Energy Up | Extreme Energy Solutions | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service | Validation and verification of GHG assertions | Management-system certification | Advisory, readiness and training |
| Contract with | Energy Up International LLC | Global Energy Up | Extreme Energy Solutions |
| Technical team | Verification team under ISO 14066:2023 competence criteria | Audit team under ISO/IEC 17021-1 | Advisory team — not a conformity-assessment function |
| Independent review | Independent technical reviewer, excluded from the engagement | Independent technical review before the decision | Not applicable |
| Final decision | Authorised decision-maker who neither performed nor reviewed | Authorised personnel who did not participate in the audit | Not applicable — no conformity-assessment decision |
| Output | Validation or verification statement | Management-system certificate | Reports, systems and training — never a statement or certificate |
| Accreditation | EGAC, certificate 1225009A, schedule 1225009B | Published per programme from official documents only | None — advisory is not an accredited activity |
| Complaints route | Trust Centre complaints | Certification complaints | Direct to the entity |
What this looks like in a real programme.
Suppose a manufacturer wants a verified product footprint, an ISO 14001 certificate and help building its data system. Those are three engagements with three entities: Extreme Energy Solutions may build the data system; Energy Up International may verify the footprint only if it took no part in building it and the impartiality assessment clears; and Global Energy Up may certify the environmental management system through its own audit and decision. Three contracts, three decisions, three registers. That is the cost of each output being worth something.
