Aviation & SAF
European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)
The EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is key to reducing greenhouse gases (GHG), incorporating aviation since 2008 under its “Cap and Trade” system. This scheme limits emissions, allowing for trading of CO2 allowances. Aircraft operators face a detailed regulatory environment, managing “full” and “reduced” scopes for compliance. Our EU ETS verification service ensures precise adherence to emissions reporting and allowance surrendering, guided by rigorous standards.
Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Services
CORSIA stands for the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation. It is a global program established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to address the carbon emissions from international aviation. CORSIA aims to achieve carbon-neutral growth in the aviation industry from 2020 onwards by requiring airlines to offset any increase in emissions above a certain baseline level through the purchase of carbon offsets. Normec Verifavia provides essential CORSIA verification services for aircraft operators, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
United Kingdom Emissions Trading System (UK ETS) Services
The United Kingdom Emission Trading Scheme (UK ETS), established post-Brexit, drives the UK’s climate efforts by managing emissions across various sectors, including aviation. Focused on collaborative progress, the scheme involves stakeholder engagement and public consultations to enhance strategic approaches. With a strong emphasis on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), the UK ETS exemplifies the nation’s dedication to reducing aviation emissions and fostering a sustainable future.
Swiss Emissions Trading Scheme (CH ETS) Services
The Swiss Emissions Trading System (ETS), aligned with the EU ETS since January 1, 2020, marks a pioneering effort in harmonizing carbon reduction initiatives across borders. This collaboration, endorsed by the Swiss Parliament in 2019, encompasses aviation and fossil-thermal power plants, promoting equitable and efficient carbon pricing. Our services in Swiss ETS verification stand for excellence, ensuring rigorous compliance with both Swiss and EU standards for accurate, reliable emissions reporting and verification.

Preparation of IHM Part I, Part II, Part III Services
The primary objective of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is to meticulously document the ship-specific hazardous substances onboard, ensuring two critical objectives: first, the safeguarding of seafarers' and yard workers' health and safety; second, the prevention of environmental contamination during ship recycling. Ship recycling facilities depend on this in-depth information to make well-informed decisions on managing identified hazardous materials. Starting July 1, 2021, all EU-flagged vessels are mandated to have IHM Part-I and an Inventory Certificate, while non-EU-flagged vessels must have IHM Part-I and a Statement of Compliance when docking at EU ports. Notably, the Hong Kong Convention will be effective from June 26, 2025, further cementing the importance of IHM documentation.
Maintenance of IHM Part-I Services
Normec Verifavia specializes in ensuring the efficient and continuous maintenance of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Part-I for vessels in compliance with EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) and the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (HKC). By integrating their 3-way 'Plug and Play' IHM Maintenance Dashboard with clients' procurement systems or suppliers' portals via simple APIs, they offer seamless access to real-time IHM updates. The platform is validated by Blockchain technology, providing shipowners, superintendents, and vessels with live status checks on IHM maintenance, thus ensuring readiness for Port State Control (PSC) inspections and other regulatory requirements. The seasoned team of marine engineers and naval architects at Normec Verifavia brings extensive expertise in IMO and EMSA rules, helping ship owners and managers navigate the complexities of hazardous material regulations easily. The service promises transparency, efficiency, and compliance, leveraging automated monthly or ad-hoc IHM Maintenance reports, and is trusted by over 2500 ships worldwide.
