VCS Methodology Elements Under Development
Under the VCS double approval process methodology elements are posted on the VCS website for public comment followed by two sequential and independent assessments by two VCS validation/verification bodies and a final completeness check and review by the VCSA.
The methodology elements in the tables below are being developed under the double approval process. For information on methodology elements which have already completed the process, please visit the following page:
VCS methodology element double approval process history
The methodology elements in the first table are open for public comment, whilst those in the second table have completed their public comment period and are progressing through the double approval process.
If you would like to comment on a methodology element during its public comment period, please send your comment to secretariat@v-c-s.org, stating your name, organization and country. Comments will be posted on the methodology element page at the end of the 30 day public comment period.
