ISO 14000 series & VVB ISO/IEC 17029 — readiness to accreditation.
CAS prepares organisations, project developers, and aspiring Validation & Verification Bodies (VVBs) for accreditation against the ISO 14000 environmental management family and ISO/IEC 17029 — covering gap analysis, management system build, internal audit, witness audit support, and accreditation body submission.
Indicative bands — final scope confirmed after a 20-minute discovery call.
Practice positioning.
We deliver two parallel programmes: 1. Corporate readiness — for organisations seeking certification against ISO 14001 (EMS), ISO 14064-1 (organisational GHG inventory), ISO 14067 (product carbon footprint), ISO 14068-1 (carbon neutrality), or ISO 50001 (energy management). CAS designs the management system, builds documented procedures, runs internal audits, and shepherds the client through Stage 1 / Stage 2 certification with the chosen certification body. 2. VVB accreditation — for assurance providers seeking accreditation under ISO/IEC 17029 (general principles for validation/verification bodies) with sector schemes ISO 14065 (GHG) and ISO 14066 (competence of GHG validation/verification teams). CAS authors the impartiality framework, competence matrix, validation/verification procedures aligned to ISO 14064-3, and supports witness audits with national accreditation bodies (UKAS, ANAB, DAkkS, EMA, ENAC, etc.). All engagements run to a defined accreditation timeline with risk-tracked milestones and documentation under version control.
How CAS delivers.
Gap analysis & scoping
Benchmark current state against ISO clauses. Define accreditation scope, sector schemes (e.g. CDM, VCS, GS, Article 6.4), geographic coverage, and target accreditation body. Output: prioritised gap register and roadmap.
Management system build
Author the documented system: impartiality & risk framework, competence management, complaints & appeals, document control, validation/verification procedures, sampling, materiality, and reporting templates aligned to ISO 14064-3.
Implementation & internal audit
Train personnel, run dry-run validations/verifications, conduct internal audits and management review. Close non-conformities before the accreditation body application is filed.
Accreditation & witness audit
Submit application pack to UKAS / ANAB / IAF MLA signatory, host Stage 1 documentation review, host Stage 2 office assessment, and support witness audits on live engagements through to accreditation grant and surveillance cycle.

Prepare projects for independent VVB submission.
CAS prepares PDDs, GHG inventories, evidence packs, and clarification responses for submission to accredited Validation & Verification Bodies. Independent of the assurance opinion itself.
