# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 of 19 December 2018 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (Text with EEA relevance), Annex V: Minimum tier requirements for calculation-based methodologies involving category A installations and calculation factors for commercial standard fuels used by category B and C installations (Article 26(1))

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Table 1
Minimum tiers to be applied for calculation-based methodologies in the case of category A installations and in the case of calculation factors for commercial standard fuels for all installations in accordance with point (a) of Article 26(1)
Tiers for the emission factor relate to the preliminary emission factor, and carbon content relates to the total carbon content. For mixed materials, the biomass fraction must be determined separately. Tier 1 shall be the minimum tier to be applied for the biomass fraction in the case of category A installations and in the case of commercial standard fuels for all installations in accordance with point (a) of Article 26(1).
