Call for input on "sampling standard and best practice examples" (18 July - 07 August 2012, 24:00 GMT)


The Board agreed to launch a call for public input on sampling standard and best practice examples as indicated in the CDM Executive Board work programme 2012 (EB 67, annex 1).

Stakeholders are invited to provide their input on the proposed revision of "Standard for sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities" and "Best practice examples focusing on sample size and reliability calculations and sampling for validation/verification".

The scope of the public input shall include but is not limited to issues specified below:

Questions on sampling standard

  • 1: Are the proposed requirements on the minimum sample size appropriate?
  • 2: Are there any areas of the sampling standard that need further elaboration or can potentially be simplified? For example does paragraph 19 (and footnote 14) related to the sampling plan for a group of CPAs need further elaboration? If so, what are the options to indicate homogeneity?

    Questions on best practice examples

  • 3: Are the proposed approaches and best practice examples for addressing reliability issues practical and appropriate? Is there any section of the document which requires more clarification and examples?
  • 4: Are the proposed approaches and best practice examples on acceptance sampling practical and appropriate? Is there any section of the document which requires more clarification and examples?

    Others

  • 5: Is there any other area where best practice examples could be useful for PPs and DOEs?

    The call for inputs from public stakeholders was open from 18 July to 7 August 2012 (24:00 GMT).

    In order for the inputs from this call to be considered at the sixty-ninth meeting of the CDM Executive Board, the call is open exceptionally for a period of three weeks.
    The call is open, please log in to submit your input
