Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/602 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.

This Decision lays down rules regarding the recognition of the ‘International Sustainability & Carbon Certification’ voluntary scheme in order to check that compliance with the rules for biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels, renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels is achieved. The ‘International Sustainability & Carbon Certification’ voluntary scheme demonstrates, for the fuels audited under the scheme, the compliance of the consignments of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels with the sustainability criteria; the 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; and the compliance of the consignments of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels with the low indirect land-use change-risk criteria, in accordance with the Directive (EU) 2018/2001. In addition to that, the scheme contains accurate data on greenhouse gas emission savings.
