The Carbon Trust details development here: http://www.carbontrust.co.uk/carbon/briefing/developing_the_standard.htm

CarbonCounted fully supports this standard.  The CarbonConnect system can handle any standard a supply chain chooses to follow, and links the emission values (or “CarbonCounted”) together within that supply chain.  Companies can choose PAS 2050, ISO 14025:2006, a hybrid or other standard.  The value on their carbon label is then communicated to the consumer or end user.
