Short answer
What does CBAM Article 7 require, and what outcome does the rule tree give?
CBAM Article 7 is tested here by a deterministic rule tree of 12 rules, built from the article's own conditions. The tree reads your facts and names the outcome that applies, starting with Paragraph 1 applies, carrying paragraph citation, content hash and read date 2026-08-22 against CELEX 32023R0956. The outcome is a machine classification, not a compliance decision.
CBAM Article 7Checked against the publisher 2026-08-22Official text
- Paragraph 1 applies. 1. Embedded emissions in goods shall be calculated pursuant to the methods set out in Annex IV. For goods listed in Annex II only direct emissions shall be calculated and taken into account.
- Paragraph 2 applies. 2. Embedded emissions in goods other than electricity shall be determined based on the actual emissions in accordance with the methods set out in points 2 and 3 of Annex IV. Where the actual emissions cannot be adequately determined, as well as in the case of indirect emissions, the embedded emissions shall be determined by reference to default values in accordance with the methods set out in point 4.1 of Annex IV.
- Paragraph 3 applies. 3. Embedded emissions in imported electricity shall be determined by reference to default values in accordance with the method set out in point 4.2 of Annex IV, unless the authorised CBAM declarant demonstrates that the criteria to determine the embedded emissions based on the actual emissions listed in point 5 of Annex IV are met.

The article text as read
- 11. Embedded emissions in goods shall be calculated pursuant to the methods set out in Annex IV. For goods listed in Annex II only direct emissions shall be calculated and taken into account.

Where the actual emissions cannot be adequately determined, as well as in the case of indirect emissions, the embedded emissions shall be determined by reference to default values in accordance with the methods set out in point 4.1 of Annex IV.
- 33. Embedded emissions in imported electricity shall be determined by reference to default values in accordance with the method set out in point 4.2 of Annex IV, unless the authorised CBAM declarant demonstrates that the criteria to determine the embedded emissions based on the actual emissions listed in point 5 of Annex IV are met.
- 44. Embedded indirect emissions shall be calculated in accordance with the method set out in point 4.3 of Annex IV and further specified in the implementing acts adopted pursuant to paragraph 7 of this Article, unless the authorised CBAM declarant demonstrates that the criteria to determine the embedded emissions based on actual emissions that are listed in point 6 of Annex IV are met.
- 55. The authorised CBAM declarant shall keep records of the information required to calculate the embedded emissions in accordance with the requirements laid down in Annex V. Those records shall be sufficiently detailed to enable verifiers accredited pursuant to Article 18 to verify the embedded emissions in accordance with Article 8 and Annex VI and to enable the Commission and the competent authority to review the CBAM declaration in accordance with Article 19(2).
- 66. The authorised CBAM declarant shall keep those records of information referred to in paragraph 5, including the report of the verifier, until the end of the fourth year after the year in which the CBAM declaration has been or should have been submitted.
- 77. The Commission is empowered to adopt implementing acts concerning:
- 8(a)
- 9the application of the elements of the calculation methods set out in Annex IV, including determining system boundaries of production processes and relevant input materials (precursors), emission factors, installation-specific values of actual emissions and default values and their respective application to individual goods as well as laying down methods to ensure the reliability of data on the basis of which the default values shall be determined, including the level of detail and the verification of the data, and including further specification of goods that are to be considered as ‘simple goods’ and ‘complex goods’ for the purpose of point 1 of Annex IV; those implementing acts shall also specify the conditions under which it is deemed that actual emissions cannot be adequately determined, as well as the elements of evidence demonstrating that the criteria required to justify the use of actual emissions for electricity consumed in the production processes of goods for the purpose of paragraph 2 that are listed in points 5 and 6 of Annex IV are met; and
- 10(b)
- 11the application of the elements of the calculation methods pursuant to paragraph 4 in accordance with point 4.3 of Annex IV.
- 12Where objectively justified, the implementing acts referred to in the first subparagraph shall provide that default values can be adapted to particular areas, regions or countries to take into account specific objective factors that affect emissions, such as prevailing energy sources or industrial processes. Those implementing acts shall build upon existing legislation for the monitoring and verification of emissions and activity data for installations covered by Directive 2003/87/EC, in particular Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 (24), Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 (25).
