What does the carbon activity-data checker produce?
Check activity inputs against a frozen reporting period, approved units and factor versions, strict nonnegative quantities, and duplicate activity IDs. Show separate totals by unit.
The working area above runs the supported validator in the browser. It keeps the result inspectable and preserves every unresolved item for responsible review.
What do you need before you start?
- A named owner has defined the task and the organization’s intended use.
- The customer has authority to use every supplied record, source or connection.
- Prepare the result in this browser and resolve visible input errors before exporting.
What information do you enter?
Prepare only the bounded inputs listed below for this validator.
- Frozen review date (required). Use a real YYYY-MM-DD date from 1900 through 2200. The tool does not use the browser clock.
- Approved policy and scope reference (required). Identify your rule, version, reporting scope, and responsible reviewer. No legal requirement is inferred.
- Reporting period start (required). Inclusive YYYY-MM-DD date.
- Reporting period end (required). Inclusive YYYY-MM-DD date, no later than the review date.
- Approved activity units (required). Use exact case-sensitive units approved for this source. Quantities with different units are never added together. One exact value per line, at most 100 values.
- Approved factor references and versions (required). Use exact approved factor references. The checker does not select factors or calculate emissions. One exact value per line, at most 100 values.
