• Blast furnace / basic oxygen
• Electric arc furnace
• Direct reduction (where applicable)

Required producer data

• Installation identity and production route
• Activity data for fuels, reductants and process materials
• Direct emissions measurement or calculation basis

What CBAMValid prepares

CBAMValid structures installation, goods, calculation and evidence records into an Exporter Verification Preparation Pack for independent accredited verification. It does not issue an accredited verification opinion or EU/customs approval.
