refer to ISO19011: 2002 - Guidance for Quality
and Environmental Management System

Assessment was carried out when the whole

operation of the company was inspected one-by-
one against the individual criteria in the RSPO
P&C, including document reviews, interviews with
stakeholders, and site visits to the company
operations
Assessment Process

The unit of certification shall be the mill and its

supply base:

• The unit of certification must include both directly

managed land (or estates) and associated smallholders
and outgrowers, where estates have been legally
established with proportions of lands allocated to each.

• All the FFB from the directly managed lands (or estates)
shall be produced to certifiable standards. The mill will
develop and implement a plan to ensure that100% of
associated smallholders and outgrowers are of certifiable
standard
within 3 years.
Assessment Process

Organizations with more than one management unit and/or

that have a controlling holding in more than one autonomous
company will be permitted to certify individual management
units and/or subsidiary companies only if:

(a) the organization is a member of RSPO; and

(b) a time-bound plan for achieving certification of all
relevant entities is submitted to the certification body
during the first certification audit. The certification
body will be responsible for reviewing the
appropriateness of this plan (in particular, that the time
scale is sufficiently challenging), and verifying and
reporting on progress in subsequent surveillance visits;
and
(c) there are no significant land conflicts, no
replacement of primary forest or any area containing
HCVs since November 2005, no labor disputes that are
not being resolved through an agreed process and no
evidence of non-compliance with law in any of the non-
certified holdings.

New acquisitions which have not replaced primary

forests or HCVs are required to comply with these
requirements within three years
