Bureau Veritas, a provider of testing, inspection and certification services has announced the development of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard (UK NZCBS) verification scheme. The UK NZCBS is a voluntary standard for new builds, existing buildings, and retrofits. It sets out clear, measurable requirements across 13 sectors to define what Net Zero Carbon Aligned truly means in practice. Alongside this, Bureau Veritas’s verification experts advised on the governance structure supporting the verification framework, and have trained the first UK NZCBS verifiers. Katie Clemence-Jackson, CEO of NZCBS Ltd, commented: “Working with Bureau Veritas as our verification partner, we have collaboratively developed a verification scheme that is robust, impartial and rigorous.
