Various organisations issued guidelines e.g. on the determination of emissions or emission reductions. Sometimes these guidelines can be interpreted as "Best Practicce Guidelines" as described in the "Monitoring and Reporting Guidelines" of the European Union or the guidelines specify some details of the "Monitoring and Reporting Guidelines" in some member states of the European Union
The following documents are a selection of relevant guidelines.
