Comments on AIE Accreditation Itaru Watanabe Japan Quality Assurance Organization 9 March 2006, Hilton Bonn
Issues to be discussed 1. Accreditation • Sectoral scope • Procedures 2. Related issues • National guidelines and procedures • PDD and its guidance
Accreditation / Sectoral Scope • One of the big differences from CDM • Sectoral scope • Basis on the assignment of an assessment team • Be useful for setting the competence criteria for an assessor. • It is difficult to define the sufficient knowledge and understanding of environmental issues, technical aspects, environmental auditing requirements and accounting methodologies for all sector/source categories.
Accreditation / Procedures • Three steps • Desk review (Document Check) /On-site Assessment/ Witnessing • Reaccreditation • Roles and responsibilities of an AIE • Same as those of a DOE or different ? • Whole steps are necessary for a provisional AIE ?
National guidelines and procedures • No need for guidance by JISC ? - National guidelines and procedures for approving Article 6 projects, including the consideration of stakeholders' comments, as well as monitoring and verification ( para. 20 ) - The AIE shall determine whether the project has been approved by the Parties involved (para. 33) • Some guidance could be useful for efficient and effective development and determination of a project
PDD and its guidance • Need of the description of sector/source category in "Description of the project“ • User friendly guidance • Verbal forms (Shall/Should/May) • Uncertainty level of data (High/Medium/Low)
