CRITERION B:
Transport and accommodation

Purpose

To reduce polluting emissions deriving from travelling by motorised transport, through the selection of the vehicles to be used and a rational organisation of transfers, thus enabling a reduction of fuel consumption costs.

To reduce the environmental impact of the crew’s accommodation, by choosing accommodation close to the shooting locations and with certified sustainable management.

Criterion description:

B1 EURO 5 VEHICLES

Requirements

To exclusively use Euro 5 certified vehicles or vehicles similar to Euro 5 if this standard is not applicable.

Verification procedure

Document verification. Produce the originals or copies of the following:

  • vehicle registration documents;
  • rental contracts, if any.

On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to take note of the vehicles actually used and to ensure that vehicles that are not allowed (Euro 4 or lower) are not being used.

B2 EURO 6, HYBRID, METHANE, LPG AND/OR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Requirements

To exclusively use Euro 6, hybrid, methane, LPG and/or electric vehicles. This criterion refers only to passenger transportation.

Observations and suggestions

Criteria B1 and B2 may be combined in the case where vehicles intended for passenger transportation meet criterion B2 and the remainder meet criterion B1, in which case the relevant points are added together.

Verification procedure

Document verification. Produce the originals or copies of the following:

  • a list of the vehicles found- Euro 6, methane, LPG and/or electric;
  • vehicle registration documents;
  • rental contracts, if any.

On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to take note of the vehicles actually used and ensure that vehicles that are not allowed (Euro 5 or lower) are not being used.

B3 ACCOMMODATION: WITHIN 10 KM OF THE SET

Requirements

To select accommodation within a 10 km radius of the set, except when the sets are used for only one day of shooting. If there is no accommodation within 10 km of the set, to choose the accommodation closest to the set.

Observations and suggestions

The choice of accommodation impacts on vehicle transfers and consequently on polluting emissions and fuel costs; for this reason, it is important to choose accommodation that is as close as possible to shooting locations. Arranging accommodation nearby also helps to simplify transport organisation in terms of time management and reducing the work-pace of the drivers involved.

Verification procedure

Document verification. Produce the original or copies of the following:

  • the list of accommodation facilities of the crew;
  • the corresponding invoices (or similar proof) for the accommodation;
  • the graphic evidence of the distance of accommodation from the set  (example: maps/satellite photographs with distances indicated).

On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to check the truthfulness of the declarations made, through the direct acquisition of information and data.

B4 ACCOMMODATION: CERTIFIED ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES
