Source of standards

The British Standards Institution (BSI) has recently launched its independent carbon neutral certification (PAS 2060:2010) service, which was officially released in the UK in May 19, 2010.

PAS 2060, based on the existing environmental standards of ISO 14000 (environmental management system) series and PAS 2050 (commodity and service greenhouse gas emission assessment criteria in the life cycle, namely carbon footprint) and based on three principles of inclusiveness, accessibility and openness, puts forward the requirements for the realization and implementation of the organization through the quantification, reduction and compensation of gas emission from the warm chamber.

BSI's verification that the PAS 2060:2010 service will fully land in China will help Chinese enterprises to create a more productive environment that is more consistent with global trends and standards, and promote the pformation of the whole society towards a low-carbon economy.

PAS 2060's clear and consistent operational requirements have been maintained.

Carbon neutral

The integrity of the concept.

PAS 2060 can be applied to various types of organizations (such as business organizations, local governments, communities, academic institutions, clubs and social organizations, families and individuals) and various themes (such as activities, towns or cities, buildings or products).

The era of carbon neutral has arrived, and the launch of PAS 2060 marks

BSI

It has moved from carbon footprint to carbon neutral.

PAS 2060 requires that enterprises and organizations make positive efforts in order to achieve low carbon production mode or lifestyle and consumption based on quantifying greenhouse gas emissions.

In view of the amount of emissions that can not be reduced, we can achieve neutralization on the basis of voluntary compensation and offset.

This helps to change the misunderstanding of the concept of carbon neutralization in the current society.

Carbon neutralization is not a fashionable amnesty for human climate and crime, but a reflection on its inherent carbon emission level and a real effort to reduce carbon emissions.

The formulation process of PAS 2060 and the state or

international standard

The same.

As a publicly available specification, PAS 2060 is a fast implementation standard and is directly used to achieve specialized project management.

The project management will provide: effective schedule for reducing delays, targeted expert participation, ensuring appropriate advice, and brand alliance to make contributions more famous.

The methodology of PAS 2060 does not provide exact evidence of total zero emissions. Instead, it provides a credible and proven standard to prove that a specific entity or the body of its application has implemented carbon neutralization.

Liu Moyuan, managing director of BSI China, said: "BSI is committed to bringing the world's advanced concepts and systems into the Chinese market.

PAS 2060 not only provides a standard for enterprises to achieve low carbon production, but also promises to restore consumers' confidence in the reliability of carbon neutral claims, and encourages people to take more actions to deal with climate change and improve the management level of carbon emissions.

BSI hopes to make positive contributions to the achievement of national emission reduction targets by sharing with the local market the latest achievements in standards and regulations and active cooperation with government departments.

PAS 2060 applies to the most extensive stakeholders from single citizens to large companies or municipal institutions.

It has three principles of inclusiveness, accessibility and openness. The basis of the principle of inclusiveness is that the wider the scope of rules applies, the more acceptable the results will be. Accessibility is reflected in BSI's attempt to help customers start the PAS 2060 carbon neutralization project from the most extensive starting point. The open nature is the ultimate guarantee for the effectiveness of carbon neutral statements formulated by any organization or individual according to PAS 2060 requirements.

These three principles make the PAS 2060 standard pay more attention to its results and reports.

As a source of standards, BSI and China Institute of standardization have been actively involved in cooperation for a long time, and have successfully introduced PAS 2050 into China.

In the future, BSI will continue to actively cooperate with China's relevant standards departments on PAS 2060, and provide an overall solution based on low carbon standards for more Chinese enterprises.
