1.Which chain of custody options are possible under ISCC?
Under ISCC EU the Chain of Custody options Mass Balance and Physical Segregation are possible. ISCC PLUS also provides the option Controlled Blending. Information about the approaches is available in the documents 203 Traceability and Chain of Custody as well as the ISCC PLUS document.  

 

1.在ISCC下，哪种产销监管链选项是可能的？
在ISCC EU下，在ISCC EU下，产销监管链有物料平衡和物理隔离两个选项。ISCC PLUS还提供了受控混合选项。关于这些方法的信息可以在文件203可追溯性和产销监管链以及ISCC PLUS文件中找到。

 

2.Where do I find information on the requirements related to mass balance?
Please review the ISCC EU system document 203 and ISCC PLUS system document, chapter 9.4.3.

 

2.在哪里可以找到有关物料平衡要求的信息？
请参阅ISCC EU系统文件203和ISCC PLUS系统文件，章节9.4.3。

 

3.What kind of information needs to be forwarded on ISCC PLUS sustainability declarations?
For the ISCC EU standard this is summarized in chapter 3.3.3. of the ISCC EU system document 203. The ISCC PLUS System Document, chapter 9.2 provides an overview of the relevant requirements. 

 

3.在ISCC PLUS可持续性宣言中需要转发哪些信息？
对于ISCC欧盟标准，在ISCC EU系统文件203章节3.3.3中进行了总结。ISCC PLUS系统文件，第9.2章提供了相关需求的概述。

 

4.Can certified and non-certified materials (e.g. if technically equivalent) be stored together in one silo or do they need to be kept separately?
Under mass balance it is certainly possible to store materials/products together while under the chain of custody option “physical segregation” those would need to be kept separately.

 

4.已获认证和未获认证的材料（例如技术上等同的）是否可以存储在一个筒仓内，还是需要分开存放？
在物料平衡选项下，当然可以将材料/产品存储在一起，而在“物理隔离”的产销监管链选项下，需要分开存储。

 

5.How long is a mass balance period?
The maximum length of one mass balance period is three months.  

 

5.物料平衡期有多长？
物料平衡期最长为三个月。

 

6.What is a surveillance audit and when must a surveillance audit be conducted?
Mandatory surveillance audits have to be conducted by the certification body six months after the first (initial) certification of any economic operator in a high-risk supply chain. A high risk applies to economic operators that are collecting, processing, storing or trading materials, which may be eligible for extra incentives in individual EU Member States (e.g. double-counting), such as waste and residues or waste and residue-based products. 
For collecting points and traders that are dealing with both waste and residues (e.g. used cooking oil or animal fat) and with virgin vegetable oils (e.g. palm oil, rapeseed oil), a surveillance audit shall be conducted three months after the first (initial) certification (covering the first mass balance period). This surveillance audit shall be conducted in addition to the surveillance audit that has to take place six months after the first certification and shall follow the same risk-based approach. This additional surveillance audit three months after the first certification may be conducted remotely if a risk assessment for the individual system user by the certification body has demonstrated a regular risk. If the risk assessment has shown a risk higher than regular, the surveillance audit shall be conducted on-site. 
Further information about surveillance audits is available in the ISCC document 203: Traceability and Chain of Custody 

 

6.什么是监督审核，什么时候必须进行监督审核？
认证机构必须在对高风险供应链中的任何经济运营者进行首次（初始）认证后6个月进行强制性监督审核。高风险适用于收集、加工、存储或交易材料的经济运营者，这些材料可能有资格在个别欧盟成员国获得额外奖励（例如：重复计算），如废物和残渣或以废物和残渣为基础的产品。
对于同时处理废物和残渣（例如：使用过的食用油或动物脂肪）和初榨植物油（例如棕榈油、菜籽油）的收集点和贸易商，须在首次（初步）认证后3个月（包括第一个物料平衡期）进行监督审核。本次监督审核应在首次认证后6个月进行的监督审核的基础上进行，并应遵循同样的基于风险法。如果认证机构对单个系统用户进行的风险评估表明存在经常性风险，则可以在首次认证后3个月进行额外的监督审核。如果风险评估显示风险高于常规，监督审核应在现场进行。
关于监督审核的进一步信息可参阅ISCC文件203：可追溯性和产销监管链

 

7.Is it possible to sell material prior to receiving the physical material and to receive/acquire/purchase the credits later on?
The balance of the mass balance must be established at the end of the period (maximum three months). Selling certified material without having the equivalent amount in stocks (to go short) imposes the risk to run into a negative mass balance which is considered as a major non-conformity under ISCC.

 

7.有没有可能在收到实物材料之前就销售材料，然后再收到/获得/购买信用？
物料平衡的余额必须在期末（最多三个月）建立。在没有同等数量库存的情况下销售认证材料（做空）会增加进入负物料平衡的风险，这被认为是ISCC下的主要不符合项。

 

8.How can returns due to e.g. damaged or insufficient quality be handled?
Option 1: The acceptance of the (defective) goods is refused, i.e. they are returned to the supplier. In this case, companies have to provide clear evidence and documentation on the refusal process so that the auditor can transparently verify physical and bookkeeping flows of incoming and outgoing materials.
Option 2: The goods are returned, but the customer issues an SD for them. In this case, the supplier must have booked out the corresponding quantity in the mass balance. The returned goods can then be booked in into the mass balance again (with the new SD).

 

8.如何处理因损坏或质量不足而造成的退货？
选择1：拒绝接受（有缺陷的）货物，即退货给供应商。在这种情况下，企业必须提供关于拒绝过程的明确证据和文件，以便审核人员能够透明地核实进出材料的实物和记录流水。
选择2：退货，但客户出具可持续声明。在这种情况下，供应商必须在物料平衡中登记了相应的数量。退回的货物可以重新登记到物料平衡表中（用新的可持续声明）。

 

9.Does ISCC provide a mass balance template?
As of today, ISCC does not provide such a template. Companies are also free to integrate their mass balance calculations in existing internal software/ ERP systems. In addition, the ISCC PLUS training covers this topic extensively and provides a mass balance calculation as a training element in the group work tasks.

 

9.ISCC提供物料平衡模板吗？
到目前为止，ISCC还没有提供这样的模板。企业也可以自由地将它们的物料平衡计算集成到现有的内部软件/ ERP系统中。此外，ISCC PLUS培训广泛地涵盖了这一主题，并提供了物料平衡计算作为小组工作任务的培训内容。

 

10.Does the supplier need to provide an LCA analysis and do ISCC PLUS certified companies have to calculate GHG emissions?
ISCC provides a detailed guidance on GHG emission calculation and verification. While for the road transport mandatory, certified operators for industrial applications can include carbon footprint calculations via the voluntary GHG add-on. Please find more information in the ISCC System Document 205 – GHG Emissions and in the ISCC PLUS System Document.

 

10.供应商是否需要提供LCA分析，通过ISCC PLUS认证的企业是否需要计算温室气体排放？
ISCC提供了关于温室气体排放计算和核查的详细指南。而对于强制道路运输，工业应用的认证运营商可以通过自愿的温室气体附加物进行碳足迹计算。请在ISCC系统文件205 ——温室气体排放和ISCC PLUS系统文件中找到更多信息。
