How do I become a verifier?
To become a verifier for the GHG Reporting Program, you will need to be accredited by the California Air Resources Board or be associated with a verification body that is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board's GHG Validation and Verification Body accreditation program in the areas for which you intend to perform verification. You will also need to take and pass qualification exams for Oregon qualification. For more information on accreditation and eligibility to perform verification services in Oregon, please refer to the document linked below:
DEQ opens a new training and exams period for GHG Reporting Program verifiers annually; when applications become available, they will appear on this page. The GHG Reporting Program is not accepting verifier applications at this time.
