The National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) is an Indian accreditation body that provides accreditation to inspection, certification, validation, and verification bodies across various sectors. NABCB ensures that these bodies meet international standards and are competent to certify or verify compliance with specific standards, including those related to environmental claims and carbon credit programs.
NABCB plays a significant role in the carbon market and climate action space in India by accrediting agencies involved in validation and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and removals. For example, NABCB accredits Validation and Verification Bodies (VVBs) for carbon credit programs such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and other sustainability certification schemes. This accreditation confirms that these bodies are competent to independently validate and verify projects that generate carbon credits or demonstrate emission reductions.
NABCB is the key national accreditation authority in India that ensures the credibility and quality of certification and verification bodies involved in environmental, sustainability, and carbon market activities, thereby supporting the integrity of carbon credit issuance and trading in India.
NABCB is chosen as the accreditation body for verification and validation bodies in carbon projects because it ensures the credibility, competence, and impartiality of these bodies through internationally recognized standards and rigorous assessment processes.
