Aviation Accreditation in Process

Verum et Accuratus is currently pursuing ESYD accreditation for aviation verification services under ISO 17029:2019. We are developing our procedures, technical competencies, and quality management systems to meet the rigorous requirements for EU ETS Aviation and CORSIA verification.

Our Preparation Includes:

  • Development of aviation-specific verification procedures aligned with EU AVR and CORSIA standards
  • Building technical competence in aviation emissions monitoring and reporting
  • Establishing impartiality safeguards and quality assurance processes
  • Engaging with aviation industry stakeholders to understand sector-specific requirements

Services will commence only after formal accreditation is granted by ESYD. We cannot accept verification contracts or issue verification statements until accreditation approval.

Regulatory Framework

Understanding the regulatory landscape is essential. Here's an overview of the key frameworks we verify against.

EU ETS Aviation

Active

Aircraft operators performing flights to, from, or within the European Economic Area must monitor, report, and verify their CO2 emissions and surrender EU allowances.

Annual reporting: 31 March | Allowance surrender: 30 April
Approved Monitoring Plan
Annual Emissions Report
Tonne-km report (if applicable)
Verification by accredited body
Official Documentation

CORSIA

Active

ICAO's Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation requires monitoring, reporting, and verification of CO2 emissions from international flights.

Pilot phase: 2021-2023 | First phase: 2024-2026
Emissions Monitoring Plan
