Accreditation Body of Serbia (ATS) has officially accredited TMS CEE D.O.O. BEOGRAD to carry out verification activities of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reports. This is under the accreditation certificate number 12-004, issued in accordance with the requirements of the SRPS EN ISO/IEC 17029:2020 standard, confirming the technical competence and impartiality of TMS CEE in performing verification activities.
This enables current and future TMS CEE clients to access new and highly demanded services in the field of greenhouse gas emission verification.
This represents an important step toward implementing national legislation and provides strong support for public policies aimed at combating climate change, covering everything from monitoring and reporting to independent verification of the data submitted by operators.
TMS CEE D.O.O. BEOGRAD is accredited to verify emission reports in the following areas:
- combustion of fuels in facilities where only commercial standard fuels are used, as defined in regulations governing GHG emission monitoring and reporting, or when natural gas is used in category A or B facilities,
- combustion of fuels in facilities without limitations,
- plants for roasting or sintering of metal ores (including sulfide ores), including continuous casting,
- production of crude iron or steel (primary or secondary fusion), including continuous casting,
- production of cement clinker,

Why is accreditation according to SRPS EN ISO/IEC 17029:2020 important?
The SRPS EN ISO/IEC 17029:2020 standard defines requirements for bodies performing validation and verification of information, including GHG emissions.
Accreditation demonstrates that the verifier:
- operates in accordance with international standards,
- possesses technical expertise,
- ensures the impartiality of the process,
- provides reliable and transparent services to operators.
For companies subject to GHG reporting, this means greater assurance in their processes, reduced risks, and compliance with regulations that will soon come into effect.
