Verification
The validity of the results generated by our screening tool is naturally highly dependent on input data. Our tool is very complex on the inside and contains a huge amount of trustworthy data, but if one enters wrongful or lacking information about a product, the results will reflect this.
Here we will explain three types of verification and how you may use your screening results with each type.
Included in subscription
Self-assessment
It is solely the client’s responsibility, that input data is correct and valid. The screening result can be used in non-public sales operations (projects, tenders etc). Målbar takes no responsibility for the results. The client can solely refer to this result as; calculated via Målbars tool, but not verified by Målbar.
Worst case result may be communicated (B2B only)
General mandatory disclaimer:
This screening result reflects an emission estimated to be no greater than XX kilos of CO2e. The result is obtained through a self assessment using the MÅLBAR software (v. X.X). This result is for internal use and project basis only. The calculations are performed on xx.xx.xxxx and valid in 1 year from this date.
75 – 675 € per product
Verified by Målbar
Målbar verifies that the input data provided by the client lies within the “normal” range and that any claim of sustainable aspects is documented. We also check if the mass balance is accurate and if any materials/processes are forgotten or mistyped. The client can then refer to the screening result as verified by Målbar.
Main result + uncertainty may be communicated (B2B only)
General mandatory disclaimer:
The expected emission of this product is XX kilos of CO2e, with a related uncertainty of +xx% – xx%. This screening result reflects the expected emission of the product and the related uncertainty due to potential lacking data and thereby the use of conservative estimates. The result is obtained through self assessment using the Målbar software, enriched with a manual verification by Målbar. The verification secures that the input data lies within the normal range for the product type, as well as secures proper documentation for any sustainability claim related to the product. The calculations are performed on xx.xx.xxxx and valid in 1 year from this date.

General mandatory disclaimer:
The product has an expected emission of xx kilos of CO2e. A formal verification report will be produced and delivered directly from third party. This verification report shall at all times follow any usage of the result. The result is valid until xx.xx.xxxx.
