  1. Standard Update

Standard update new documents

What are the new documents?

The V4.0 Plan Vivo Standard is encompassed by one core standard document. In contrast, the V5.0 version of the Plan Vivo Standard will be split across three key documents: Project Requirements, Methodology Requirements, and Validation & Verification Requirements. In time, these will be supplemented by various guidance documents, procedural documents, and templates.

 

Can I read them?

The documents are available to read via the links below. Please note that these are the current proposed requirements which will be reviewed against any feedback received and may therefore change.

Document Description
Project requirements Criteria that project must demonstrate compliance with.
Methodology requirements Minimum requirements that any methodology must meet to be approved for use by projects that are certified to the Plan Vivo Standard.
Validation & verification requirements Criteria that must be followed by projects and auditing bodies with respect to the validation and verification of projects.
Glossary A glossary for all key terms used across the Plan Vivo Standard documents

 

The draft Validation & Verification Guidance, which provides guidance for projects and auditing bodies regarding auditing processes and auditor requirements, is also available to view and provide feedback on.

 

Feedback

These are draft documents and not the final versions. We were eager to hear your opinions on any of the above documents and therefore held the Standard Update public consultation throughout November 2021. With the public consultation now closed, we will take all comments into consideration when updating these documents to officially release the updated Standard.
