Verification and validation bodies carry out tests in the area of greenhouse gas emissions. Their conformity assessment relates primarily to the accuracy and conformity of the declarations made by companies concerning greenhouse gas emissions within the framework of the EU emissions trading system. The relevant standards for the work of validation and verification bodies are ISO 14065 and ISO 17029.  
Whilst their scheme is already introduced and implemented in Ukraine, it is new to the other EaP countries. Therefore the target group of this awareness workshop are besides the personnel and assessors of the accreditation bodies the ministry and regulators in charge of environmental issues.
