The concept of institutional infrastructure for validation, verification, evidentiary reporting and mutual recognition
| DATA Traceability | PROOF independent verification | Trust mutual recognition |

Project for pilot testing and interagency discussion
Moscow / international circuit • 2026
Summary
The National Validation Center in the ESG-IR model is not "another certification body", but an institutional coordinator of evidence-based sustainability. Its task is to connect the national accreditation system, independent validation and verification bodies, digital registries, ESG reporting, climate and energy instruments and international mutual recognition.
Key distinction: state or recognized accreditation body confirms the competence of inspection organizations; independent bodies conduct validation and verification; the operator of the standard ESG-IR establishes rules, maintains registries and provides authorization for the program; the rating committee makes rating decisions. These functions should not be concentrated in a single structure.
| Level | Institute | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | National accreditation body | Formally confirms the competence of conformity assessment bodies. |
| 2 | National Center ESG | Manages standard, methodology, registries, authorization and international compatibility. |
| 3 | Independent VVB | Validate future statements and verify actual results. |
| 4 | Rating contour | Calculates and collegiately approves the ESG-IR rating. |
| 5 | International mutual recognition | Ensures comparability of national systems and conclusions. |
Target result: a national infrastructure in which each ESGThe indicator is related to the primary source, level of evidence, independent opinion and digital history; and ECO‑PPA becomes a special case of an evidence-based environmental contract.

Annexes
1. Subject and designation of national validation centres
The National Validation Center is a working institutional concept that designates a national coordination unit that provides uniform rules for verifying sustainable development and links the state quality infrastructure with independent professional assessment.
The center should solve five tasks:
1. provide a single language of indicators and methods;
2. form a trusted network of independent validators and verifiers;
3. ensure digital traceability of data and conclusions;
4. prevent conflicts of interest, greenwashing and double counting;
5. establish a mechanism for national and cross-border recognition of results.
The Centre shall not substitute:
- state accreditation body;
- environmental supervision;
- audit of financial statements;
- credit rating agency;
- the carbon unit register;
- Issuer of energy origin certificates;
- independent verifier.
2. Normative and international framework
The architecture is built around the international infrastructure of conformity assessment. ISO/IEC 17029:2019 establishes general requirements for competence, consistent work and impartiality of validation and verification bodies. ISO 14065:2020 specifies the requirements for environmental information, ISO 14066:2023 — Competence of the team, and ISO 14019‑4:2026 — Requirements for bodies validating and verifying the declared information on sustainability.
| Document | Role in the system ESG |
|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 17029:2019 | Basic requirements for validation and verification bodies. |
| ISO 14065:2020 | Industrial application to environmental information. |
| ISO 14066:2023 | Competence of teams, technical experts and independent reviewers. |
| ISO 14019‑1:2026 | General principles and requirements for validation/verification of sustainability information. |
| ISO 14019‑4:2026 | Requirements for competence, impartiality and activities of the bodies of verification of information on sustainability. |
| ISO 14064‑3 | Checking greenhouse gas declarations. |
| ISSA 5000 | International Framework for Sustainability Information. |
| IAF MLA | Mechanism for international recognition of accreditations in relevant fields. |
The practical principle is that ESG-IR should be a program compatible with this infrastructure, and not parallel to a closed system.
3. Division of roles
| Role | Which confirms | Which does not confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Accredited body | Competence of the conformity assessment body in the declared area. | Does not confirm the specific customer result ESG. |
| Validator | The validity of the future statement, project, goal, baseline scenario. | It does not confirm the fact of future achievement. |
| Verifier | Reliability of historical information and actual results. | Does not automatically assign ESG-rating. |
| Register | The fact of recording, status, transfer or redemption within its function. | It does not confirm all the characteristics of the project. |
| Rating Committee | Final ESG-IR class according to the approved method. | It does not replace independent verification. |
| Standard Operator | Rules, methodology, authorization, digital infrastructure. | You don’t have to check your projects. |
The basic chain of trust
National accreditation body → Accredited VVB → Verified data and conclusion → Digital Registry → the Rating Committee → user result.
4. Russian National Contour
In the Russian Federation, the official accreditation outline should be maintained by the national accreditation system. For environmental and climate statements, the existing mechanism for the accreditation of greenhouse gas validation and verification bodies is important. ESG-IR should connect to it within the applicable field, and for broader sustainability statements, develop programmatic authorization and seek to expand the official accreditation contour as regulatory practices develop.
Recommended Russian architecture
| Contour | Proposed role |
|---|---|
| RosAccreditation / National Accreditation System | Official accreditation of bodies in the areas provided for by law and schemes. |
| National Center ESG | The owner of the standard, methodological and registry operator, software authorization. |
| Accredited validation/verification bodies | Independent verification ESGClimate, ir and ECO‑PPA within the competence. |
| Register of Carbon Units | Accounting for climate projects and carbon units within the established legal regime. |
| Energy registers/attribute systems | Confirmation of the origin and redemption of energy attributes. |
| Rating Committee ESG | Separate collegial rating decision. |
Legal disclaimer: the program "authorization ESG-IR" should not be referred to as state accreditation if it is issued by the owner of the standard, and not by the competent accreditation body.
5. International models of national quality infrastructure
In most developed systems, the national level is built not around a single “center that checks everything”, but around a national accreditation body and a network of independent conformity assessment bodies. For example, DAkkS is the national accreditation body of Germany and separately provides for the accreditation of validation and verification bodies on ISO/IEC 17029.
| Level | Type of Institute | Model for ESG-IR |
|---|---|---|
| National | Accreditation body | Confirms the competence of the independent VVB. |
| Software | Owner of the standard / scheme owner | Establishes additional rules for the program ESG-IR. |
| Executive | Validation/Verification Body | Conducts independent tasks. |
| Roster | National/industry registration | Stores statuses, attributes, and transaction history. |
| International | IAF / international programs | Supports equivalence and mutual recognition. |
For climate projects, an additional international contour is created UNFCCC Article 6.4, Verra VCS and Gold Standard. They use independent DOE/VVB and its own program requirements. For ESG>IR is an important model: an international program sets the rules, but the project is checked by an independent competent organization.
6. Target Model of the National Center ESG
The National Center ESG-IR is proposed to be created as a standard owner and operator of trusted infrastructure, and not as a monopoly verifier.
| Functional block | Contents |
|---|---|
| Standardization | ESG-IR 1.0, rating methodology, register of indicators, industry applications. |
| Validation/verification | Program rules, qualification requirements, authorization of independent bodies. |
| Digital Registry | Bodies, experts, opinions, ratings, ECO-PPA, status history. |
| Qualification | Training, exams, observation of practice, confirmation of competence. |
| Rating | Independent analytical function and collegial rating committee. |
| International contour | Compliance tables, peer review, mutual recognition agreements. |
| Research | Methodological studies, industry benchmarks, system quality assessment. |
Recommended name:
National Center for Evidence-Based Sustainability, Validation and ESG-IR (working international name: National ESG-IR Validation & Evidence Centre).
7. Governance and independence
| Organ | Main Function | Key limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Supervisory Board | Strategy, independence, public control. | Does not change the rating of an individual organization. |
| The Standard Council | Approves the standard and methodology. | They do not verify their own projects. |
| Scientific and Methodological Committee | Develops indicators, formulas and industry modules. | It does not make commercial rating decisions. |
| Ethics Committee | Conflicts of interest, impartiality, disciplinary issues. | independent of the commercial block. |
| Rating Committee | Adopts ESG-IR decisions. | Not involved in the preparation of customer data. |
| The Appeals Commission | It deals with procedural and methodological disputes. | It does not consist of participants in the original decision. |
| Digital Registry Committee | Data, versions, information security. | Doesn't change the history of records without a trace. |
8. Accreditation and authorization of bodies
The system should use a two-tier recognition model.
Level A - official accreditation
Conducted by a national accreditation body or other competent authority in accordance with applicable law and international standards.
Level B — authorization ESG
It is provided by the program owner and confirms knowledge of the standard ESG-IR, connection to the digital registry, compliance with the rules of the program and the presence of appropriate competence.
| Stage | Contents |
|---|---|
| 1. Application | Legal status, area, personnel, procedures, independence. |
| 2. Documentary evaluation | ISO/IEC 17029, Applicable ISO 14065/14019, procedures ESG‑IR. |
| 3. Evaluation of the system | Management, conflicts, data, archive, complaints. |
| 4. Witness assessment | Monitoring a real or pilot task. |
| 5. Decision | Independent of the assessment team. |
| 6. Roster | Public area, terms, restrictions, status. |
| 7. Oversight | Annual monitoring and re-evaluation. |
9. Qualification of experts
| Role | Minimum function | Special competence |
|---|---|---|
| Validator | Evaluation of future statements and prerequisites. | Basic scenario, additionality, forecasts, goals. |
| Verifier | Checking historical data. | Sampling, recalculation, proof, data control. |
| Task Manager | Responsibility for the conclusion. | Risks, materiality, command, file quality. |
| Technical expert | Industry expertise. | Energy, climate, water, biodiversity, etc. |
| Data Expert | Digital Systems and Algorithms. | IT-controls, journaling, models, cyber risks. |
| Expert on Effects | Impact assessment. | Attribution, additionality, leakage, reversible. |
| Independent reviewer | Control of key judgments. | Competence is not lower than the head of the task. |
Qualification is fixed by matrix: role + Type of task + block ESG‑IR + Industry + Level of confidence + Type of object. The mere fact of passing the general course does not give the right to check any industry.
10. Digital infrastructure and registries
The digital circuit is part of the evidence architecture, not just the public catalog.
| Register | Key fields |
|---|---|
| Organs VVB | Status, accreditation, authorization, scope, limitations, history. |
| Experts | Role, qualification, industry, duration, disciplinary status. |
| Conclusions | Object, period, criteria, level of confidence, conclusion, reservations. |
| Ratings | E/S/G/I/R/D/T, final class, forecast, version of the methodology. |
| ECO‑PPA | Generation object, MW·h, period, attributes, redemption, MRV. |
| Warnings | Suspensions, reviews, falsification, double counting. |
| Techniques | Versions, dates of action, transition periods, interpretations. |
The key principle of the registry is the immutability of history: the fix creates a new version of the record, but does not destroy the previous one.
11. Special contour ECO‑PPA
ECO-PPA should be the first transactional zone of the national center: energy, contract, instrument data, environmental attributes, climate calculation, digital passport and independent verification are simultaneously present here.
| Object of verification | Who confirms |
|---|---|
| The fact of generation and delivery | Commercial accounting / measurement operator + VVB. |
| Origin of Energy | Authorized certificate/attribute system. |
| Transfer and redemption of attribute | Register of energy attributes. |
| Scope 2 | Independent calculation according to the applicable method. |
| Prevented emissions | Separate project methodology and verification. |
| Complementary | Validation of the project and financial model. |
| Carbon Units | Only under a separate climate program/registry. |
| Social and natural effect | ESG‑IR Impact + Relevant technical experts. |
The certificate of origin, market-based Scope 2, avoided emissions and carbon unit are different results and are taken into account separately.
12. International system of mutual recognition
The international contour ESG-IR should be built as a system of equivalence of national mechanisms, and not as a supranational body that abolishes national law.
| Level | Subject of recognition | Result |
|---|---|---|
| MR‑1 | Methodology | Comparability of standards and definitions is confirmed. |
| MR‑2 | Organs | Comparable requirements for VVB and supervision are recognized. |
| MR‑3 | Conclusions | It is allowed to accept conclusions without a full re-examination. |
| MR‑4 | Ratings | A general scale or transformation table is used. |
| MR‑5 | Digital integration | Registries check statuses and double counting automatically. |
International climate programs — UNFCCC, Verra, Gold Standard - can act not as competitors, but as external software contours. ESG>IR should be able to refer to their results within the limits of the actually confirmed statements.
13. Financial and organizational model
The center must have diversified funding so that no major rated participant can influence the methodology or decisions.
| Source | Permissible designation | Protective mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Constituent contributions | Launching infrastructure. | There is no right to interfere with individual ratings. |
| Authorization and registries | Operational support. | Fixed tariffs do not depend on the result. |
| Training and exams | Qualification outline. | Separation of training and examination decision. |
| Grants and research | Methodology and international development. | Donor Disclosure and Conflict. |
| State support | socially significant infrastructure. | Authority is determined separately. |
| Analytical services | Industry research. | Prohibition of consultation and verification of one object by one command. |
14. Roadmap for launch
| Period | Stage | Key result |
|---|---|---|
| 0–3 months | Institution | Jurica, Board of Standards, Ethics Committee, version 1.0 documents. |
| 3–6 months | Qualification | 10+ Experts, 2 Candidate Authority, Digital Registry MVP. |
| 6–12 months | Pilot | 3–5 checks, minimum 1 ECO-PPA, first ratings marked "pilot". |
| 12–15 months | Calibration | Error analysis, version 1.1, industry coefficients. |
| 15–24 months | International Pilot | Peer review, 2–3 national partner, MRQQ1/MRQQ2. |
| 24+ months | Scaling | MR‑3/MR‑4, industry centers, cross-border ECO‑PPA. |
15. Performance indicators
| KPI | Pilot target | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Qualified experts | ≥ 10 | Establishment of a minimum independent human resources pool. |
| Authorized bodies | ≥ 2 | Competition and lack of monopoly. |
| Pilot facilities | 3–5 | Testing the methodology for different types of objects. |
| ECO‑PPA | ≥ 1 paid transaction | Proof of Product through a real transaction. |
| Share D4-D5 in critical KPI | ≥ 80% | Increased evidence of key claims. |
| Appeals due to procedural errors | < 5% | Quality control of decisions. |
| Completeness of digital history | 100% | Traceability of changes and statuses. |
16. Risks and protective mechanisms
| Risk | Consequence | Protection |
|---|---|---|
| Conflict of interest | Distrust of conclusions. | Organizational division of functions, register of conflicts, independent review. |
| Substitution of accreditation by authorization | Legal and reputational risk. | Clear terminology and public disclosure of status. |
| Greenwashing | High rating with a weak result. | Levels D, critical limiters, fact above policy. |
| Double counting | Re-monetization of one effect. | Unique ID, registry verification, attribution rules. |
| Closed methodology | Inability to check the rating. | Public weights, scales and limiters. |
| Monopolization | The market depends on one inspector. | Multiple VVB and open tolerance by single criteria. |
| Technological opacity | Mistakes of digital models. | Versionality, algorithm auditing, human control. |
17. The Institutional Outcome Model
The national validation system ESG-IR should consist of independent but interrelated levels:
1. State/official accreditation of competence;
2. program owner and National Center ESG-IR;
3. competitive network of independent validation and verification bodies;
4. professional register of qualified experts;
5. digital passports and a register of opinions;
6. independent rating contour;
7. Appellate and ethical control;
8. international mutual recognition.
Formula of the system
DATA → PROOF → VERIFICATION → REGISTER → RATING → FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
Central Principle: The National Center creates trust not through administrative monopoly, but through transparent rules, independent verification, professional competence and traceable digital history.

From data to evidence. From evidence to trust.
1. Why a National Validation System is Needed
ESG - Reporting and environmental contracts become trusted only when data is shared, verified and recognized.

Mutual recognition
Investor / State / Buyer
Key principle: the operator of the standard should not confirm the environmental impact of its own projects.
2. Five-tier architecture of trust
Each level is responsible for a separate function and controls the previous one.
officially confirms the competence of conformity assessment bodies
National accreditation body
standard, methodology, authorization, registries, international compatibility
National Center ESG
validation of future statements and verification of actual results
Independent VVB
calculation and collegial approval ESG-IR rating
Rating contour
comparability of national systems and cross-border confidence
Mutual recognition
Not a “one-stop-shop” but a system of independent institutions with clear boundaries.
3. Division of roles
The main protection against conflicts of interest is the inability to combine standardization, verification, rating and appeal in one hand.

4. Russian National Contour
ESG -IR should connect to the existing national quality infrastructure rather than create a parallel "quasi-state" system.
Official outline
Program outline ESG-IR
Independent market verification
National accreditation system
• official accreditation VVB
• area of competence
• Supervision and inspection
• Application ISO/IEC 17029 and industry requirements

• program authorization
• Qualification of experts
• digital registers
• International Compatibility
Validation and verification bodies
• Verification ESG

The goal is to combine state recognition of competence with program specialization ESG-IR.
5. International Logic

6. Target Model of the National Center ESG
The center is the owner of the standard and the operator of trusted infrastructure, but not a monopoly verifier.

7. Governance and independence
The system should be designed so that neither the founder, nor the commercial customer, nor the verifier can single-handedly change the result.
Supervisory Board
Strategic Control and Social Balance
The Standard Council
approval of methodology and versions
Ethics Committee
conflicts of interest and impartiality
Rating Committee

The Appeals Commission
Review of procedural and methodological disputes
Digital Registry Committee
Data integrity, version and access
The rule: who prepares the data - does not verify them; who verifies - does not consider the appeal; who sells the service - does not change the methodology for the client.
8. Accreditation and authorization - two different statuses
Mixing these concepts creates legal and reputational risk.
Level A - official accreditation
LEVEL B — authorization ESG
Who gives:
• National accreditation body or other competent authority
Which confirms:
• Competence VVB
• field of activity
• management system and independence
• supervision
Legal Meaning:
official status within the accreditation area
Who gives:
• program owner ESG
Which confirms:
• knowledge of standard
• Qualification of personnel
• connection to the registry
• Compliance with program rules
Legal Meaning:
the right to carry out work under the program ESG-IR, but not state accreditation
Target model: formal accreditation + Software Authorization ESG‑IR.
9. Qualification of experts
Competence is not fixed by position, but by a combination of role, subject, industry and level of confidence.

10. Digital infrastructure and registries
The digital circuit is part of the proof: it must preserve the origin, status, and history of the change of each significant fact.

The four results are reported separately
1) certificate of origin of energy 2) market-based Scope 2 3) avoided emissions 4) carbon unit. You cannot automatically convert one result to another.
ECO-PPA - convenient Proof of Product: one real delivery + one digital passport + one independent withdrawal + one payment.
12. International system of mutual recognition
Recognition is based on levels - from comparability of methods to integrated digital exchange.

The first Proof of Product should prove not a "beautiful concept", but a working chain: data → independent verification → registry → user solution.
14. KPI and protective mechanisms
The center should measure not the number of issued signs, but the quality of trusted infrastructure.
Key KPI
Main risks and protection
• Share of significant indicators D4-D5
• proportion of decisions without significant errors
• number of qualified experts
• share of registry records with full history
• Number of recognized national systems
• volume verified ECO-PPA
• Closing speed of corrective actions
• Percentage of appeals that identified procedural errors
Conflict of interest → separation of functions
Quasistate status → legal distinction of terms
Greenwashing → levels of evidence and independent assurance
Double counting → unique identifiers and registry checks
Capture methodology by industry → balanced committees
History change → versioning and journaling
15. The Institutional Outcome Model
The National Center creates rules and trust infrastructure; independent bodies create evidence; users make decisions.
