Certification / Chronological order
- Preparation of a project schedule (nonrecurring) in connection to a certain methodology
- Agreement with the government of the host country (nonrecurring)
- Preparation of documents needed for validation (once in ten years or thrice for seven years) by project owner
- Validation
of project documents by the first certifier (operational entity) (once in ten years or thrice for seven years). If a new methodology is submitted with the project, the methodology will first have to be acknowledged before validation.
- The project is thoroughly checked for compliance with the regulations. The registration of the project follows at the CDM Board (nonrecurring)
- Implementation of the project and monitoring of the project according to the validation
- Testing of the success of the project and verification
by the second operational entity (periodical, predominantly once a year)
- Emissions rights are registered at the UNFCCC and after subtraction of 2 % and of a fee for administrative costs are assigned to the registry account of the involved Annex-I-country.
- Project finish date after 10 or 21 years depending on the application
for further information see the following presentation
Note:
For acceptance of a CDM-project the chosen methodology
is of big importance. If an acknowledged methodology is used with the project, the procedure for acceptance will be easier.
