Validation process
In summary, the DOE is required to review and validate all project documents against the general validation criteria for CDM project activities, as well as the specific validation criteria for PoAs.
The coordinating/managing entity must prepare the project documentation and provide it to the DOE for validation:
The coordinating/managing entity shall submit to a DOE the following documentation:
- A completed CDM-POA-DD
- A PoA specific CDM-CPA-DD with generic information relevant to all CPAs
- A completed CDM-CPA-DD which is to be based on the application of the PoA to one real case (EB 32, Annex 39, paragraph 5).
The DOE reviews then these documents and prepares a validation report:
A designated operational entity (DOE) shall submit a request for registration of a proposed PoA using the Programme of Activities registration request form (F-CDM-POA-REG) along with a validation report and supporting documentation (EB 32, Annex 39, paragraph 6).
