CBAM Assurance | Carbon Border Adjustment Verification

Overview

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Assurance

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is the EU's pioneering tool to address carbon leakage by imposing carbon costs on imported goods. CBAM assurance ensures accurate reporting of embedded emissions in imported products, supporting compliance with EU regulations and facilitating fair competition in the transition to a low-carbon economy.

As CBAM enters its transitional phase, businesses importing goods into the EU must report embedded emissions quarterly. IRClass Systems & Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (ISSPL) provides comprehensive CBAM assurance services, helping organizations navigate regulatory requirements, verify emission calculations, and maintain compliance with EU carbon pricing mechanisms.
