TÜRKAK Expands Services to Include ISO 14064-2 Standard

TÜRKAK, which previously provided accreditation services under ISO 14064-1, has now expanded its scope to include the entire ISO 14064 series for greenhouse gas (GHG) calculation and verification. With this expanded accreditation, corporate carbon footprints can be calculated using internationally accepted methods and verified by independent organizations.

By assuming a critical role in environmental protection, combating climate change, and ensuring energy security, TÜRKAK continues to broaden its services in line with the principle of "Accreditation is Local, Acceptance is Universal." This contributes to achieving sustainable environmental performance and economic growth.

The ISO 14064-2 standard establishes principles and requirements for measuring, monitoring, and reporting activities aimed at reducing or removing GHG emissions. It provides guidance at the project level for effective management of such initiatives.

The ISO 14060 family of standards offers clarity and consistency in measuring, monitoring, reporting, verifying, or validating GHG emissions and removals, supporting sustainable development through a low-carbon economy. It benefits organizations, project proponents, and stakeholders worldwide.

Climate change impacts both human and natural systems, affecting resource availability, economic activities, and human well-being. In response, national and international initiatives are being developed and implemented by public and private sectors to reduce GHG concentrations in the atmosphere and facilitate climate adaptation.

Applications for TÜRKAK’s accreditation services can be submitted online via the Corporate Service Portal (ASİST)
