Question 1 of 30
GreenTech Solutions, an organization seeking accreditation to provide verification services for GHG emissions data under ISO 14065:2020, is evaluating the qualifications of potential auditors. They are reviewing the credentials of Elara, an experienced environmental consultant, to determine if she meets the competence requirements outlined in the standard. Elara holds a master\'s degree in environmental science, has completed several courses on GHG accounting and verification, and possesses five years of experience in conducting environmental audits. However, she lacks specific training on the latest version of ISO 14064-3, which details the specifications with guidance for the validation and verification of greenhouse gas assertions. Considering the requirements for auditor competence under ISO 14065:2020, which of the following actions should GreenTech Solutions prioritize to ensure Elara\'s competence is fully aligned with the standard?
Assign Elara to verification projects involving simpler GHG emission sources, such as renewable energy projects, to gain practical experience before tackling more complex industrial processes.
Provide Elara with targeted training on ISO 14064-3, focusing on the specific requirements and guidance for validating and verifying GHG assertions, to address the identified gap in her knowledge.
Pair Elara with a senior auditor who possesses extensive experience with ISO 14064-3 to facilitate on-the-job training and mentorship during initial verification projects.
Rely on Elara's existing environmental science background and audit experience, assuming that her general knowledge is sufficient to compensate for the lack of specific training on ISO 14064-3.
