IACBAM 3004:2025 is the certification for professionals working with CBAM across the supply chain. It covers scope and applicability, emissions reporting, financial exposure, and the responsibilities that connect manufacturers, importers, and verifiers. Participants leave with a recognised certification and a practical working knowledge of how the regulation operates under the definitive phase rules in force from January 2026.
Who this course is for
The course suits a wide range of roles: EU importers and customs declarants managing definitive phase obligations, procurement and supply chain professionals handling supplier data requirements, sustainability and compliance managers building internal CBAM capability, and finance teams working through certificate costs and liability projections. It is equally relevant for non-EU manufacturers and exporters supplying European customers who need to understand the data their buyers require and the verification standards that apply to it.
What the course covers
Scope and applicability covers which goods are in scope by CN code, how to determine whether a specific import triggers CBAM obligations, and the practical implications of the 50-tonne annual threshold introduced by the Omnibus Regulation.
Emissions reporting and monitoring covers how embedded emissions are calculated, the difference between direct and indirect emissions, what default values are and when they apply, and what verified actual data requires. This is the technical core of CBAM and the area where the regulation connects most directly to manufacturing and supply chain operations.
Financial exposure and impact covers certificate pricing (currently €75.36/tonne CO2 for Q1 2026), how the phase-in factor affects liability year on year through to 2034, and how to translate import volumes and emissions intensities into a cost projection.
Roles, responsibilities, and supply chain interactions covers who is accountable at each stage of the CBAM process, how importers, suppliers, consultants, and verifiers work together, and where the data flows that underpin compliance originate.
What you leave with
Participants receive an IACBAM 3004:2025 certificate and one year of complimentary IACBAM membership, giving access to the IACBAM portal, regulatory updates, and a growing network of CBAM practitioners across Europe. They leave able to interpret CBAM regulation and determine applicability, assess emissions data and reporting requirements, navigate reporting obligations and timelines, engage with suppliers and service providers, identify risks and gaps in CBAM processes, and contribute to internal compliance decisions.
Supplying into Europe
CBAM places the legal obligation on the EU importer, but the data that makes compliance possible originates with the supplier. Non-EU manufacturers in the UK, Brazil, India, Turkey, and other major exporting countries can use 3004 to understand exactly what their EU customers need from them: how embedded emissions are calculated, what formats and verification standards apply, and how the data flows through the declaration process. Below280 also works directly with non-EU manufacturers to build the monitoring and reporting capability their EU customers require. Contact info@below280.com to discuss that alongside or separately from the course.
