BSI the a First National Standard body & founding member of ISO, will ensure that every tonne of carbon on the exchange meets specifications of the asset class

SINGAPORE, December 21, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AirCarbon Exchange Partners with BSI

AirCarbon Exchange (ACX), a Singapore-based Carbon Commodities Exchange, announced today that it has partnered with BSI, the First National Standard body and a founding member of ISO, to verify carbon credits on the ACX Exchange.

Today's carbon markets are organized around projects. The UN's CDM registry alone, has 7823 registered projects. Each project has a distinct methodology, country of origin, date of issuance, and other meta data all of which is encoded when ACX securitizes a project’s carbon offsets. To ensure that every tonne of carbon on the AirCarbon exchange meets the specifications of the asset class adds a 2nd layer of assurance for carbon credits onboarded onto the exchange. The BSI Verification involves an assessment of the risks of material discrepancies in the reported information and ensures that carbon credits onboarded onto the exchange conform to the token specifications established by ACX.

BSI has been working in sustainability since 1992 when it created the world’s first environmental standard, BS 7750 which is now ISO 14001. In the years since, BSI has contributed to EU ETS regulatory aspects, ISO 14065 GHG International Standards, developed PAS 2050 and 2060 for carbon footprint and neutrality, and produced ISO 20121 for sustainable events.

Wei Mei Hum, ACX’s VP of Carbon Markets, noted that AirCarbon selected BSI as a partner because their unparalleled experience in the details of carbon validation work would bring confidence to exchange members. The carbon markets have mostly operated as an opaque, illiquid OTC market and ACX’s commitment to transparency requires us to partner with organizations such as BSI.

Dr Nadege Claudel, General Manager at BSI said: “We are delighted to be partnering with AirCarbon to perform the independent verification of the carbon credit process that involves an objective assessment of the authenticity of documents and verification of documents. Sustainability has never been more important, today we can help you deliver substantial environmental, economic, and social benefits, whatever your organization size, sector, or geographical location. We can help you identify and manage the impact of your business on the environment and community. BSI believes a focus on sustainability is vital to achieving enduring and long-term resilience.”
