CBAM: Control your carbon impact, cost impact and compliance

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a key measure of the European Union that requires certain imported products to bear the same carbon cost as those manufactured in the EU. Its application has a direct impact on the costs, competitiveness and regulatory compliance of importing companies.

In this context, AENOR helps you to anticipate, comply with and optimise your strategy against CBAM, acting as an independent conformity assessment body, in full alignment with European regulation.
 

Why is it key to act now?

When real emissions data are not used, the CBAM regulation requires default values, which in most cases are higher than the actual emissions of the product. This can translate into unnecessary cost overruns and greater economic impact.

Having real, well-calculated and verified data allows you to:

  • Faithfully reflect the environmental performance of your products.

  • Reduce the cost associated with CBAM.

  • Minimize regulatory and technical risks.

AENOR's proposal is especially aimed at those organisations that wish to use real emissions data instead of the default values established in European legislation, as well as at companies seeking to reduce regulatory risks and control the economic impact associated with the CBAM, within a framework of strict independence and impartiality.

AENOR services in relation to CBAM

AENOR offers clearly differentiated services, in accordance with the impartiality requirements applicable to verification and validation bodies:

Accredited CBAM Verification

AENOR will carry out the accredited CBAM verification, in accordance with European regulations, guaranteeing independence, technical rigour and regulatory validity from 2027.

Verification allows you to:

  • Evaluate the accuracy and conformity of the data declared.

  • Reinforce the credibility of your information against third parties.

  • Have an independent and recognized verification opinion.

Key Benefits for Your Organization

Verification allows:

  • Control of the economic impact of the CBAM, avoiding unnecessary costs associated with default values.

  • Reduction of regulatory and technical risks, through structured and advance preparation.

  • Improved quality, traceability and credibility of embedded emissions data.

Sectors and experience of the Certification

Related Industries

Currently, the CBAM affects the following key sectors.

CBAM is aimed at both importers established in the European Union and non-European manufacturers and producers who supply the European market with the following products:

  • Iron and Steel

  • Aluminum

  • cement

  • Fertilizers

  • Hydrogen

  • Electricity

In all these cases, importing companies must calculate, declare and verify the embodied emissions, with both regulatory and economic impact .

Integration with other solutions

CBAM verification is not an isolated solution. It integrates naturally with other AENOR services, allowing for coherent, efficient and strategic management of carbon and sustainability.
