Article 18 Verification of methods applied for missing data

Where methods laid down in the monitoring plan as approved by the competent authority have been used to complete missing data pursuant to Article 66 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, the verifier shall check whether the methods used were appropriate for the specific situation and whether they have been applied correctly.

If the operator or aircraft operator has obtained an approval by the competent authority to use other methods than those referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Article 66 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, the verifier shall check whether the approved approach has been applied correctly and appropriately documented.

Where an operator or an aircraft operator is not able to obtain such approval in time, the verifier shall check whether the approach used by the operator or aircraft operator to complete the missing data ensures that the emissions are not underestimated and that this approach does not lead to material misstatements.

The verifier shall check the effectiveness of the control activities implemented by the operator or aircraft operator to prevent missing data referred to in Article 66 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 from occurring.
