Launch of Accreditation Programme on Verification of Carbon Footprint of Product under Validation & Verification Body Scheme

 In support of the SG Green Plan, the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) is pleased to announce the expansion of our accreditation scheme for Validation and Verification Bodies to include verification of carbon footprint of product, with effect from 04 July 2025. 

With increasing emphasis and adoption by local and global stakeholders and regulators, more organisations and businesses are stepping up efforts to adopt climate and sustainability measures. This includes measuring carbon footprints of their products to meet growing demands from consumers, regulators, investors, and supply chain partners. The accreditation programme on verification of carbon footprint of product, in accordance with ISO 14067, aims to enhance access to transparent and reliable GHG data, supporting the development of low carbon products and services, and in turn, advance Singapore’s transition towards a low-carbon economy.

 Interested applicants will be assessed based on the following:

  1. ISO/IEC 17029 Conformity assessment — General principles and requirements for validation and verification bodies

  2. ISO 14065 General principles and requirements for bodies validating and verifying environmental information

  3. ISO 14066 Environmental information — Competence requirements for teams validating and verifying environmental information

  4. ISO 14064-3 Greenhouse gases — Part 3: Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements

    Application for accreditation is now open through the SAC Accreditation Management Portal, SACINET (opens in new tab).
