What should be checked before a CBAM calculation?
Confirm the CN code, origin, importer role, reporting period, installation boundary, embedded-emissions method and verification status.
Can total facility emissions be used as a CBAM liability?
No. CBAM concerns covered imported goods and their embedded emissions under the applicable rules. Total facility emissions do not establish the liability.
Can modelled facility data replace a verified declaration?
No. Keep modelled data labelled as an estimate and replace it with verified or required compliance data where available.
How should a carbon-price input be recorded?
Record the instrument, source, price type, currency, observation date and exchange-rate basis.
Does a missing price record mean the price is zero?
No. It means the current record has not been established. Check the responsible national authority and current legal source.
Can a standard percentage be used for an energy-saving measure?
Not for a site result. Use measured geometry, temperatures, operating hours and the relevant process or equipment boundary.
What is the difference between measured and modelled data?
Measured data comes from an observation or instrument. Modelled data is produced by a method using inputs and assumptions. Record both the method and status.
When should a regulatory article be updated?
Update it when the legal text, official guidance, effective date or scope changes. Record what changed and retain the source.
