The GC Scheme Standard provides the first version of the criteria that those implementing Granular Certificate Schemes need to meet in order to prove, through a third party audit, that they are “Compliant with the EnergyTag Standard”. 

The GC Use Case Guidelines provides the first version of EnergyTag’s Guidelines for the use of Granular Certificates. None of the Use Cases are mandatory, but these Guidelines must be followed where the consumer wishes to prove, through a third party  audit, their GC use is “Aligned with the EnergyTag Guidelines”.

This document outlines the steps registries should take if they wish to be audited against the EnergyTag Standard. Audits are performed by the Independent Audit Committee.

This work, performed with data science contractor Future Energy Associates, proposes a v1 of the EnergyTag GC Registry API Specification. The documents are open for comments and suggestions – a v2 will be published later, based on feedback.
