Sets out the key technical and scientific aspects that underpin an accounting system for carbon sequestered from the atmosphere as a result of afforestation and reforestation as defined under Article 3.3 of the Kyoto Protocol. The requirements are intended for use in commercial trading ahead of the formulation of a final set of rules governing Article 3.3 carbon sinks projects under the Kyoto Protocol and ahead of Australian Government decisions on the Kyoto Protocol.

This Interim Standard sets out a process for assessing net carbon stock changes over a defined period of time in forest projects for the purpose of commercial trading in existing or future carbon. This Interim Standard applies to carbon sequestered as a result of afforestation or reforestation as defined under Article 3.3 of the Kyoto Protocol.
