COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/602
of 8 April 2022
on the recognition of the ‘International Sustainability & Carbon Certification – ISCC EU’ voluntary scheme for demonstrating compliance with the requirements set in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council for biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels, renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels
(Text with EEA relevance)
Article 1
The ‘International Sustainability & Carbon Certification’ voluntary scheme (‘the scheme’), submitted for recognition to the Commission on 14 June 2021, demonstrates, for the fuels audited under the scheme, the following elements:
compliance of the consignments of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels with the sustainability criteria for agricultural biomass laid down in Article 29(2) to (5) and (10) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001;
compliance of economic operators with the obligation to enter accurate information into the Union or national database on renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels used in transport in accordance with Article 28(4) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001;
compliance of the consignments of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels with the low indirect land-use change-risk criteria set in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/807.
The scheme also contains accurate data on greenhouse gas emission savings for the purpose of Article 29(10) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 in as far as it ensures that all relevant information from economic operators upstream the chain of custody is transferred to the economic operators downstream the chain of custody.
Following the submission of 30 November 2023, the scheme also demonstrates compliance of the consignments of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels with the sustainability criteria for forest biomass laid down in Article 29(6) and (7) and with the greenhouse gas emissions savings requirements for forest biomass in Article 29(10) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.
Following the submission of 22 July 2024, the scheme also demonstrates compliance of consignments of renewable fuels of non-biological origin with the provisions set out in Article 27(6);
Following the submission of 22 July 2024, the scheme provides accurate data on greenhouse gas emissions savings of renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels for the purpose of Article 29a(1) and (2) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.
Article 2
The Decision is valid:
until 13 April 2027 with regard to the elements referred to in Article 1, first paragraph, points (a), (b) and (c), and second paragraph;
until 21 December 2029 with regard to the elements referred to in Article 1, third, fourth and fifth paragraphs.
Where the contents of the scheme, as submitted for recognition to the Commission, change in a way that might affect the grounds for this Decision, the ‘ISCC’ voluntary scheme shall notify the Commission of such changes without delay. The Commission services shall assess the notified changes with a view to establishing whether the scheme still adequately covers the sustainability criteria for which it is recognised.
Article 3
The Commission may repeal this Decision, inter alia, under the following circumstances:
if it has been clearly demonstrated that the scheme has not implemented elements considered to be important for this Decision or if severe and structural breach of those elements has occurred;
if the scheme fails to submit annual reports to the Commission pursuant to Article 30(5) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001;
if the scheme fails to implement standards of independent auditing and other requirements specified in implementing acts referred to in Article 30(8) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 or improvements to other elements of the scheme considered to be important for a continued recognition.
Article 4
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
