## Evaluation of prerequisites

This step of the evaluation makes it possible to verify and validate compliance with the fundamental requirements of each method or regulation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If there is a failure in one or more points, the methodological criteria evaluation that follows will not be able to result in a verified and validated assessment. The evaluation can therefore be stopped at this stage.
{% endhint %}

In the following tabs you will find the instructions for completing each box in the report, for the [prerequisites of a Bilan Carbone®](/guide-devaluation-des-bilans-en/information-to-be-assessed/informations-a-evaluer/prerequis-et-auto-evaluation/prerequis-methode-bilan-carbone-r.md) and those of a [Regulatory GHG Assessment](/guide-devaluation-des-bilans-en/information-to-be-assessed/informations-a-evaluer/prerequis-et-auto-evaluation/prerequis-methode-bilan-ges-reglementaire.md).

## Self-assessment

Before the assessment of the report by the evaluation team, the organisation or legal entity must self-assess its report by following the instructions in this guide and completing the [blank report found in the appendix](/guide-devaluation-des-bilans-en/annexe-1-rapport-dauto-evaluation-vierge.md). This will make it possible, in particular, to:

* To better know what to expect in the case of a first evaluation
* To properly prepare all evidence or additional documents required for the evaluation
* To correct any possible error preventing the balance sheet from being checked and validated
