7.The monitoring plan

Written in English, with 22 minimum elements. The ones that matter most for aluminium:

• installation, processes, routes and goods by CN code;
• benchmarks relevant for the free allocation adjustment;
• methods, instruments and their locations;
• source streams per process;
• the PFC monitoring method (primary smelters);
• a boundary diagram with no double counting or gaps;
• precursors and their suppliers;
• a control system: calibration, data-flow risks, IT controls, internal review, record keeping.

Any "not technically feasible" or "unreasonable cost" justification must be written in the plan.

SIMPLIFIED A plant that only cuts, welds or finishes can keep its plan very short.
