Tools are used to calculate, determine, demonstrate, estimate, identify and/or test information relating to a CDM project activity and are usually referenced in an approved methodology or a form. When referenced, all or specified components of the tool are required and mandatory. You may also want to reference other CDM-related regulatory documents including: Standards; Approved methodologies; Procedures; Guidelines and Forms.
