Introduction
Objective
URS Verification Private Ltd has been contracted by Client Name (one of the project participants of the project) to perform an independent verification of its CDM project Project Title. CDM projects must undergo periodic audits and verification of emission reductions as the basis for issuance of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). The objectives of this verification exercise are, by review of objective evidence, to establish that: The emissions report conforms with the requirements of the monitoring plan in the registered PDD and the approved methodology; and The data reported are complete and transparent.
Scope
The scope of the verification is the independent and objective review and ex post determination of the monitored reductions in GHG emission by the project activity. The verification is based on the validated and registered project design document and the monitoring report. The project is assessed against the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol, the CDM Modalities and Procedures and related rules and guidance. URS has, based on the recommendations in the Validation and Verification Standard, employed a risk-based approach in the verification, focusing on the identification of significant reporting risks and the reliability of project monitoring. Due professional care has been exercised and ethical conduct has been followed by the assessment team during the verification process. The verification report is a fair presentation of the verification activity. The verification is not meant to provide any consulting towards the Client.

2. Methodology
General Approach
URS performs the verification work using a Periodic Verification Checklist prepared following the VVS. The Periodic Verification Checklist describes the verification approach and the sampling plan. The checklist gives the assessment team a full understanding of: Activities associated with all the sources contributing to the project emissions and emission reductions, including leakage if relevant; Protocols used to estimate or measure GHG emissions from these sources; Collection and handling of data; Controls on the collection and handling of data; Means of verifying reported data; and Compilation of the monitoring report.
Using the Periodic Verification Checklist, URS verified the implementation of the monitoring plan and the data presented in the Monitoring Report for the period in question. This involved a site visit and a desk review of the monitoring report. This verification report describes the findings of this assessment. Only verification activities undertaken after the publication of the monitoring report on the UNFCCC CDM website were used as a basis for URS to conclude our verification and submit a request for issuance of CERs to the Board.

Resolution of Clarificationsw, Corrective and Forward Action Request:
As an outcome of the verification process, the team can raise different types of findings. In general, where insufficient or inaccurate information is available and clarification or new information is required the team shall raise a Clarification Request (CL) specifying what additional information is required. Where a non-conformance arises the team shall raise a Corrective Action Request (CAR). A CAR is issued, where: I. Non-compliance with the monitoring plan or methodology are found in monitoring and reporting and has not been sufficiently documented by the project participants, or if the evidence provided to prove conformity is insufficient; II. Modifications to the implementation, operation and monitoring of the registered project activity has not been sufficiently documented by the project participants; III. Mistakes have been made in applying assumptions, data or calculations of emission reductions that will impact the quantity of emission reductions;
12/61
CCMS/XXXX IV. Issues identified in a FAR during validation to be verified during verification or previous verification(s) have not been resolved by the project participants
The verification process may be halted until this information has been made available to comply with the requirements of the CDM Executive Board. Failure to address a CL may result in a CAR. Information or clarifications provided as a result of a CL may also lead to a CAR. A clarification request (CL) will be raised if information is insufficient or not clear enough to determine whether the applicable CDM requirements have been met. All CARs and CLs raised during verification shall be resolved prior to submitting a request for issuance. Corrective Action Requests and Clarification Requests are raised in the Periodic Verification Checklist. The Project Developer is given the opportunity to close outstanding CARs and respond to CLs. Forward Action Requests (FARs) may be raised during verification for actions where the monitoring and reporting require attention and/or adjustment for the next verification period, which are for the benefit of future projects and future verification activities. These have no impact upon the completion of the verification activity. All CARs, CLs and FARs for this verification period are included in this report.
Internal Quality Control

Following the completion of the assessment process and a recommendation by the Assessment Team, all documentation will be forwarded to a Technical Review Team. The task of the Technical Review Team is to check that all procedures have been followed and all conclusions are justified.

Verification Conclusions
Project Implementation
Insert brief description of the project activity. The following has been checked to verify the applicability of the methodology to the project activity. Check the applicability criteria of the methodology and confirm again if the methodology is applicable to the project activity. Project was implemented and equipment installed as described in the registered PDD. For each monitoring period, describe: (a) The implementation status of the project. For project activities that consist of more than one site, clearly describe the status of implementation and starting date of operation for each site. For CDM project activities with phased implementation, the report shall indicate the progress of the registered project achieved in each phase under verification; If the phased implementation is delayed, the DOE shall describe the reasons and present the expected implementation dates (b) The actual operation of the registered project; Refer to section 2, sub-section 6 Compliance with the Registered PDD of the verification checklist AU4, and if applicable, include the discussion on the changes in the project design against the registered project design document. Reference to the approvals received from the UNFCCC should be provided. (c) Information (data and variables) provided in the monitoring report that is different from that stated in the registered PDD and has caused an increase in estimates of the emission reductions in the current monitoring period or is highly likely to increase the estimates of emission reductions in the future monitoring periods (d) In case the reported emission reductions in a particular monitoring period are substantially greater or smaller (+/- 5%) than the project emission reduction in the registered PDD for the same period, a CAR should be raised and the reason for this increase/decrease shall be reported. In case the increase is attributed to post registration changes in the project design then the procedure for validation of changes in project design to a registered project design document as specified in the VVS should be followed. With regards to implementation discuss the findings of sections 1, on General Information and sections 2 Compliance with the CDM Requirements from the verification checklist UK.AU4.

Compliance with the calibration frequency requirements for measuring instruments.

The calibration of the following measuring equipment has an impact on the claimed emission reductions: A B C
19/61
CCMS/XXXX D E Please discuss the frequency of calibration as specified in the monitoring methodology and the monitoring plan of the registered PDD. If non compliance is identified with regards to clarification (i.e delay in calibration) the following conservative approach should be used with while verification of emission reduction calculations.
a) It should be verified that the project participant has applied the maximum permissible error for
the specific measuring instrument as specified by the relevant manufacturer as part of the technical specifications of the instrument. This error should be applied to the measured values taken during the period between the scheduled date of calibration and the actual date of calibration. If the results of the delayed results calibration do no show any errors in the measuring equipment, or if the error is smaller than the maximum permissible error should be applied.
b) If the error is beyond the maximum permissible error of the measuring equipment then the
error identified in the delayed calibration test should be applied. It is confirmed that the error is applied; i. In a conservative manner such that the adjusted measured values of the delayed calibration shall result in fewer claimed emission reductions. For all measured values taken during the period between the scheduled date of calibration and the actual date of calibration.
ii.
If the results of delayed calibration are not available or the calibration has not been conducted project participants should be requested to conduct the required calibration. It should be determined the project participants have calculated the emission reductions conservatively using the above approach. If the PP expresses inability to conduct calibration at a frequency specified by the applied methodology/CDM EB due to reasons beyond the control of PP a request for post registration changes should be submitted before finalising the verification opinion. In case the monitoring methodology or the monitoring plan do not specify any requirements for calibration frequency it should be discussed in the verification report whether or not the calibration is in accordance with the local/nation standards or as per the manufacturers specifications. If neither local/nation standards nor the manufacturers specifications are available international standards may be used but this should be transparently discussed and reported in the verification report.
2.2
Assesment of data and calculation of Greenhouse Gas emission reductions:
The calculation of emission reductions is found to be correct. No CARs were raised (if CARs were raised please briefly discuss the closure using the information from above and the parameters in section 3 of the verification checklist UK.AU4. CDM Verification Issue 7), the response to CLs was satisfactory and these were closed. The details of the reported and the verified values for all parameters are listed in section Error: Reference source not found, Calculation of Emission Reductions. To illustrate how the accuracy was verified clearly provide:
