QA/QC of outside agencies in the Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory Update of the background information in the Netherlands National System
report
Pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and EU legislation, the Netherlands is required to monitor the quantities of greenhouse gases emitted and to report on this annually. This obligation entails a series of reports, known collectively as the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory System, which
comprises the annual report on actual emissions, reports on the method and descriptions of the quality monitoring and management. The latter include the description of quality assurance and control (QA/QC) at organisations that emit greenhouse gases but do not fall under the direct influence of the quality assurance and control of the
Netherlands Pollutant Emission Register. These organisations are termed outside agencies and this description is updated periodically. Outside agencies are different in that they carry out their activities under the certified NEN-EN-ISO 9001 quality system. This system lays down the requirements for quality assurance and control. An
independent and accredited institution is responsible for certifying these quality systems and ensures that the stipulated requirements are complied with. The agencies that did not fall under this ISO system in the past had to submit a separate process description, but this is no longer necessary.
