NMX-SAA-14064-1-IMNC-2016
The NMX-SAA-14064-1-IMNC-2016 is a voluntary Mexican Standard that defines the principles and requirements for organizations to quantify, manage, and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. Its application is recommended for companies seeking to strengthen their sustainability commitment and prepare for future regulatory scenarios.
What does this standard establish?
This standard defines how to:
- Design a GHG inventory by identifying and quantifying emissions and removals.
- Monitor and report emissions transparently and consistently.
- Enable external verification, building trust with clients, investors, and regulators.
It is based on principles of relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency, and accuracy, aligned with the GHG Protocol, the most recognized international carbon footprint standard.
Scope classification
The standard distinguishes three types of emissions:
- Scope 1: direct emissions from owned sources (e.g., vehicles or boilers).
- Scope 2: indirect emissions from consumption of electricity, steam, or heat.
- Scope 3: other indirect emissions in the value chain (suppliers, transportation, product use).
Relationship with other standards and programs
This standard is part of the NMX-SAA-14064 family, together with:
- NMX-SAA-14064-2-IMNC: focused on projects that reduce or remove GHGs.
- NMX-SAA-14064-3-IMNC: guidelines for verification and validation of statements.
It is also compatible with the SEMARNAT National Emissions Registry (RENE), facilitating its use in official and voluntary reporting programs.
