Standards & methodologies

Every standard you report to, from one model.

Build a product carbon footprint once, and report it to whichever scheme is asking — CBAM, 45V, EPD, CORSIA or CSRD — on a methodology a verifier recognises.

Which carbon standards does CarbonSig support?

CarbonSig produces a product carbon footprint you can report to the standard that applies to you — CBAM, 45V, EPD (EN 15804), CORSIA/LCAF or CSRD — from one model. The calculation engine follows ISO 14040/44 and ISO 14067, and the Verifier Hub is aligned to ISO 14064-3 and the GHG Protocol, so an independent, accredited third party can verify the result. CarbonSig is aligned with these standards and reports to these schemes; it is not a certification body.

Compliance standards

The schemes your number reports to.

Regulation-driven standards, each with its own deadline and market. CarbonSig reports to them — it does not certify them; independent third parties verify.

The methodology backbone

The methods behind the number.

A CarbonSig footprint is built on recognised LCA and greenhouse-gas methodology — so the result holds up when a verifier looks at it.

ISO 14040 / 14044
The principles and framework for life-cycle assessment (LCA) — the backbone of every product carbon calculation. CarbonSig’s calculation engine is ISO 14040/44-compliant.
ISO 14067
The international standard for the carbon footprint of a product (PCF). CarbonSig calculates a product carbon footprint to ISO 14067.
ISO 14064-3
The standard for validating and verifying greenhouse-gas statements. The Verifier Hub is aligned to ISO 14064-3, so an independent verifier reviews to a recognised standard.
GHG Protocol — Product & Scope 3
The most widely used greenhouse-gas accounting framework, including the Product Life Cycle and Scope 3 standards. CarbonSig supports the GHG Protocol Product Standard; the system model tags every input to Scope 1, 2 or 3.
PAS 2050
The earlier publicly available specification for product carbon footprints that helped shape ISO 14067. CarbonSig calculates to ISO 14067, the current product-footprint standard in this lineage.
Product Category Rules (PCRs)
The category-specific rules that define exactly how an EPD is calculated (EN 15804 is the core PCR for construction). CarbonSig builds the underlying product LCA a PCR and its EPD require.
One model, every standard

Model it once. Report it anywhere.

The same connected model that gives you a CBAM value gives you an EPD, a 45V intensity or a CSRD figure — no rebuild between them. CarbonSig is aligned with these standards and reports to these schemes; it does not certify. An independent third party verifies the result, so it is verified, not self-attested.

  • One modelBuild the product once; every standard reads the same data set.
  • Aligned & reports toISO 14040/44 and ISO 14067 methodology; reports to CBAM, EPD, 45V, CORSIA, CSRD.
  • Verified, not self-attestedAn independent, accredited third party reviews it in the Verifier Hub.
Questions

Standards, answered.

Which carbon standards does CarbonSig support?

CarbonSig produces a product carbon footprint you can report to the standard that applies to you — CBAM, 45V, EPD (EN 15804), CORSIA/LCAF or CSRD — from one model. The calculation engine follows ISO 14040/44 and ISO 14067, and the Verifier Hub is aligned to ISO 14064-3 and the GHG Protocol, so an independent, accredited third party can verify the result. CarbonSig is aligned with these standards and reports to these schemes; it is not a certification body.

Is CarbonSig certified by these standards bodies?

No. CarbonSig’s calculation engine follows ISO 14040/44 and calculates a product carbon footprint to ISO 14067, and that footprint can report to schemes like CBAM, EPD and CSRD. Certification and verification are carried out by independent, accredited third parties — not by CarbonSig.

Does one model really work for every standard?

Yes. You build the product once as a connected system model, and the same data set produces the number each scheme asks for — CBAM, 45V, EPD, CORSIA or CSRD — without rebuilding it for each one.

Which standard applies to me?

It depends on your market and regulation: CBAM for goods imported into the EU, 45V for US clean hydrogen, EPD (EN 15804) for construction products, CORSIA for aviation fuels, and CSRD (ESRS E1) for large companies reporting in the EU.
