1: The applied sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities Version 07.0 states that the application of a correction to the estimates by taking the lower or the upper bound is only eligible for the application to the survey undertaken during the first two years of the crediting period of the CDM project activity or component project activities (CPAs) (if sampling is undertaken at the PoA level, the two-year limit applies from the start date of crediting to the PoA), and when the attained confidence/precision from the actual samples is equal to or better than 90/15 for a small-scale CDM project activity and 95/15 for a large-scale CDM project activity (paragraph 17 (b) & (c)).
The QA/QC procedures in the monitoring plan for the monitoring parameters of Number of project devices of type i and batch j operating during year y, Adjustment to account for any continued use of pre-project devices during the year y, Efficiency of the device of each type i and batch j implemented as part of the project activity state that "In the instance where the sample size fails to satisfy the confidence and margin of error requirements, either the lower bound of the 95 per cent confidence interval may be chosen or the sample size will be increased until the necessary precision is achieved." The PP/DOE is required to clarify how taking the lower bound of the 95 per cent confidence is in line with the paragraph 17 (b) & (c) of the sampling standard which allows the application to the survey undertaken during the first two years of the crediting period.

2: The DOE shall determine whether the coordinating/managing entity has updated sections of the PoA-DD relating to the eligibility criteira for inclusion of CPAs in the PoA, the baseline, estimated GHG emission reductions or net anthropogenic GHG removals, the monitoring plan and the PoA period using the valid version of the approved methodologies and, where applicable, the approved standardized baselines and the other methodological regulatory documents that are applicable to the PoA (paragraph 378 of VVS for PoA version 2).
1) The DOE has referred “Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities” Version 8 which is not valid as the request for the application of the version 8 was accepted until 26 July 2019 and this request for renewal of crediting period was submitted on 20 November 2019. Therefore, please apply “Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities” Version 9; and
2) While validating the applicability condition of AMS-II.G version 10 and the eligibility criteria for aggregate small-scale threshold, the DOE (p 8 & P 24) states that “The generic CPA consists solely of units that qualify as „microscale CDM units‟ as defined in the Methodological tool: Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities” and “CPA consists solely of units that qualify as „microscale CDM units.” The DOE is required to provide further information on how it validated “microscale CDM units” as per the paragraph 14 of “Demonstration of additionality of microscale project activities” Version 9 and the paragraph 46 of the AMS-II.G version 10.
