QA/QC Automated Checks

Verify all IPCC source/sink categories have been estimated or notation keys applied

Check that all required greenhouse gases are reported for each category

Check for outliers and discontinuities in the time series (2016-2022)

Verify all emission factors fall within IPCC default ranges

Validate data consistency across sectors (e.g., fuel allocation between energy and transport)

Compare sectoral approach vs reference approach for energy sector CO2

Verify correct use of notation keys (NE, NO, IE, C, NA) per IPCC guidelines

Check that units are consistent across all categories and time series

Check that methods, data sources, and assumptions are documented for all categories

Compare per capita emissions and emission intensities with regional averages

Cross-check activity data against independent national statistics

Verify consistent application of Global Warming Potentials across all categories
