How long does the certification process take?
The timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of your system and the scope of certification. However, we typically complete the process within 3-6 months.
Normec Verifavia independently certifies IT systems for shipping emissions compliance, including EU MRV, UK MRV, and IMO DCS (CII included). This service verifies system functionality and processes against legal requirements, aiding ICT providers in demonstrating compliance.
Normec Verifavia conducts the IT System Certification according to the following regulations and criteria:
Important note: the use of an MRV and / or IMO DCS system certified by Normec Verifavia does not imply that the verification would be simpler, easier, faster, or less expensive if Normec Verifavia or any other verification body is used for the verification of the carbon emissions report of the user.
Define desired scope (EU MRV, UK MRV, IMO DCS incl. CII) and submit relevant documentation. Collaborate for timeline and quotation.
Review technical documentation (user guides, test reports) for quality management and control procedures.
Rigorously test against specific regulation requirements (fuel, emissions, data) including CII factors (IMO DCS) and cargo handling (EU MRV). Review maintenance and development records.
Independent expert review for compliance. Successful completion leads to a certification certificate.
The timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of your system and the scope of certification. However, we typically complete the process within 3-6 months.
The cost of certification depends on numerous factors, such as system size, complexity, and scope. We offer customized quotes based on your specific needs.
While our certification ensures your system meets regulatory requirements, the verification process itself remains independent. However, a certified system demonstrates your proactive approach and provides accurate and readily accessible data, potentially simplifying verification.
We certify a wide range of IT systems across various platforms and functionalities, covering data collection, reporting, monitoring, and optimization modules for EU MRV, IMO DCS, and UK MRV regulations.
