What internationally acceptable references we have to follow compliance to flaring & emissions?

The most defensible compliance stack globally:
- API 521 + ISO 23251
IFC EHS Guidelines
ISO 14064 (GHG accounting)
IOGP methane framework
World Bank Zero Routine Flaring principles

Most international operators combine:
API 521 / ISO 23251 (Design)
API 537 (Hardware details)
EPA or EU limits (Emission benchmarks)
IFC EHS (Financing requirement)
IOGP methane guidance
ISO 14001 EMS

Following are the things which are normally covered in the compliance:
Flare system designed per API 521 / ISO 23251
98% destruction efficiency (minimum international benchmark)
Continuous monitoring of flare gas flow
GHG inventory per ISO 14064
Methane leak detection (LDAR program)
Annual reporting per regulatory body
If all these are covered, the system is considered as compliant.
