Key updates include new tools and documents, expanded definitions, and improved risk management and safeguards. The changes also refine the processes for project registration, issuance, and validation. Additionally, ICR has updated its methodology development and verification procedures, ensuring that they are both robust and credible.

The revised standards incorporate the latest scientific advancements and are designed to provide stakeholders with clearer, more precise guidelines. ICR emphasised that these changes aim to support continuous improvement, offering detailed procedural steps to enhance overall project management.
