CBAM mapping scope
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is the EU regulatory instrument under Regulation (EU) 2023/956 that places a carbon price on the embedded direct and (for certain goods) indirect emissions of imports of cement, iron & steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen into the EU customs territory. CBAM declarants are required to report quarterly during the transitional period and to surrender CBAM certificates from the definitive period. EMJ.life maintains a citation map only: where an EMJ-published NTCC evidence row carries supplier-engagement or process-emissions data relevant to a CBAM-covered good, that row may cite a CBAM identifier so a declarant's reporting tool can ingest the datapoint. EMJ does NOT compile CBAM quarterly reports, does NOT compute embedded emissions for customs declarations, does NOT verify installation-level emissions data under the CBAM verification regime, and does NOT issue a CBAM compliance opinion (D-001). Verification by an accredited CBAM verifier and declaration to the CBAM Registry remain the declarant's responsibility.
How publications cite this framework
Migration 0046 introduces thepublication_standards_mappingstable. CBAM citations are scoped to the goods categories listed in Annex I of the regulation. Identifiers such asCBAM-IRONSTEEL,CBAM-ALUMINIUM,CBAM-CEMENTappear when an EMJ module (typically B-series supplier or A-series process-emissions modules) carries data relevant to a covered good. The mapping is non-interpretive: it states that a datapoint may be cited by a declarant, not that the declarant is CBAM-compliant.
Per-publication indicator list
Each publication page renders the standards mapping for its DOI; CBAM identifiers appear inline alongside the citing module. See the Aliaxis FY 2026 pack as a worked example:/publication/10.64969/emj.ntcc.aliaxis-sg.2026 →
