Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. AF.A23.0 requires reportable output values—a verified feedstock quantity in tonnes and its percentage of total waste- and residue-derived feedstock volume—alongside mandatory methodological information. Verification methods, governance, and testing frequency are retained as structured method disclosures rather than treated as independent metrics. The shortlisted waste metrics measure waste generation or waste treatment and do not match this feedstock-verification construct or boundary.

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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Describe the analytical or chemical verification approach used to confirm feedstock origin and authenticity.
  • Describe governance arrangements for the verification process.
  • Disclose testing frequency.
  • Identify relevant waste- or residue-derived feedstock types, such as used cooking oil or palm oil mill effluent.

Record-specific limitations

  • Verification confirms feedstock origin and authenticity according to the reported analytical or chemical approach; it does not independently establish the sustainability performance of the feedstock.
  • Comparability depends on feedstock classifications, verification methods, governance arrangements, and testing frequency.

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.
