IS 19334 : Part 1 : 2025/ISO 19694-1 : 2021 Stationary Source Emissions - Determination of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Energy-Intensive Industries - Part 1 General Aspects
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1) which is identical to ISO 19694-1 : 2021 'Stationary source emissions - Determination of greenhouse gas emissions in energy-intensive industries - Part 1: General aspects' issued by the International Organization for Standardization was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Environmental Management Sectional Committee and approval of the Environment and Ecology Division Council.
This document is the first part of ISO 19694 series, which contains harmonized common method for measuring, testing and quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from six sector-specific industry sectors, and one document on general aspects.
In particular, the ISO 19694 series contains harmonized methods for:
a) measuring, testing and quantifying GHG emissions from sector-specific sources;
b) assessing the level of GHG emissions performance of production processes over time, at production sites; and
c) establishing and providing reliable, accurate and quality information for reporting purposes.
This standard contributes to competitiveness of industry and is a tool for formalizing businesses, contributions to providing emission reductions in their operations and to developing low-carbon technology solutions to the market.
This Standard also addresses the following issues:
a) Avoidance of double-counting at plant, organization, group, national and international levels;
b) Distinguishing different drivers of emissions (technological improvement, internal and external growth);
c) Reporting of emissions in absolute as well as specific (unit-based) terms; and
d) Ensuring that the full range of achieved direct and indirect GHG abatements are reflected.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
