The SCS-115 Certification Standard for Product Intensity and Reduction is a cradle-to-gate standard that provides a methodology for third-party certification of the greenhouse gas intensity and reduction in carbon dioxide equivalents of a chemical material. SCS-115 applies to any chemical material used in a product for which a carbon intensity claim is being made.
SCS-115 certification is for any organization that wishes to demonstrate and transparently communicate to customers and stakeholders, the carbon intensity reduction of their products containing chemicals.
The baseline calculation method used in the SCS-115 standard, follows ISO 14076:2018 covering all Kyoto Protocol gases, and ‘Together for Sustainability’ (TfS) guidance. The core standard provides the framework and methodology, while requirements specific to each decarbonization lever are contained in the separate modules (module A is published, modules B-E are in development):
• Module A: Renewable Electricity
• Module B: Biofeedstock and Recycled Content
• Module C: Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage
• Module D: Renewable Energy
• Module E: Asset Efficiency Improvement
