Verification
The review of emissions data and calculations against a named standard, carried out by someone outside the team that produced them, and recorded with the evidence they examined.
In practice
Verification is a review of the work, not a restatement of the result. It is strongest when the reviewer can re-run the calculation from the file without help from the team that produced it.
