38  Application of Subdivision
 (1) This Subdivision applies to the baseline emissions intensity of a production variable for a facility if:
 (a) one or more of the following apply:
 (i) a new factor is used to calculate the NGER facility level emissions data for the facility for the NGER reporting year for which the crediting baseline is being calculated (the calculation year);
 (ii) an input or output purity change occurs at the facility during the calculation year and the production variable is not electricity, heat, cooling or a multi‑component, elaborately transformed product;
 (iii) an error in the data previously used to calculate the baseline emissions intensity is identified during the calculation year; and
 (b) recalculating the baseline emissions intensity in accordance with this Subdivision will have a material effect on the project abatement for the calculation year.
 (2) For the purposes of subparagraph (1)(a)(i), a new factor is used to calculate the NGER facility level emissions data for a facility for an NGER reporting year if:
 (a) a default energy content factor or default emission factor that applies to the calculation is different from the factor that applied to the calculation for the preceding NGER reporting year; or
 (b) a Global Warming Potential that applies to the calculation is different from the Global Warming Potential that applied to the calculation for the preceding NGER reporting year; or
 (c) the NGER measurement method used to measure the emissions is a higher method, or a lower method, that is different from the NGER measurement method used to measure the emissions for the preceding NGER reporting year; or
 (d) a measurement procedure or frequency that applies to the calculation is different from the measurement procedure or frequency (as applicable) that applied to the calculation for the preceding NGER reporting year.
 (3) An input or output purity change occurs at a facility if there is a change to the purity of inputs used by the facility or outputs produced by the facility, other than a change that is, or is part of, a project abatement activity.
