Frequently asked questions
Can you help with ISPOP?
Yes. We help prepare documentation, verify links to emission measurement, operating permits, fuel or raw material consumption, operating hours and other data required for reporting.
Who submits consolidated operating records?
Consolidated operating records are submitted by the operator of a listed stationary source through ISPOP, usually by 31 March for the previous calendar year.
How long must operating records be retained?
For listed stationary sources, retain operating records for the statutory period so they are available during inspection.
Do you provide GHG emission and carbon footprint calculations?
Yes. We calculate greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints and review emission data within the agreed scope. We do not provide independent accredited verification of EU ETS emission reports.
When should the operating manual be updated?
The operating manual should be updated when technology, source, capacity, fuel, raw material, outlet, filtration equipment, operating regime, emission limits or operating permit conditions change. An update is also advisable if the operating manual no longer reflects the actual state of the facility.
