Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. AF.C3.2 is a reportable resource-use outcome expressed as counts by defined process categories, rather than an emission factor, eligibility criterion or calculation operand. The available shortlist does not represent the same construct or count-based, fuel-process-disaggregated value shape.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

  • Define the production-process categories used.
  • Identify the fuel types used for disaggregation.
  • State which entity types are counted and the organizational or procurement boundary applied.

Record-specific limitations

  • The reported count depends on the organization's selected and defined entity population among facilities, projects, suppliers and procurement contracts.
  • Comparability depends on consistent classification of production processes and fuel types.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
