How RSPO certification works

There is in an ever-urgent need and growing global concern that commodities are produced without causing harm to the environment or society. RSPO certification is an assurance to the customer that the standard of palm oil production is sustainable.

Palm oil producers are certified through strict verification of the production process to the stringent RSPO Principles & Criteria for Sustainable Palm Oil Production by accredited Certifying Bodies, and can be withdrawn at any time in case of infringement of the rules and standards. All organisations in the supply chain that use RSPO certified sustainable oil products are audited to prevent overselling and mixing palm oil with conventional (or non-sustainable) oil palm products. These organisations can claim the use of RSPO certified sustainable oil palm products “on pack” by using the RSPO Trademark.
Elements of the RSPO certification scheme

Standard: This sets out the requirements which must be met and against which certification assessments are made. The RSPO Standard is the RSPO Principles and Criteria. Supply chain actors are audited against the RSPO Supply Chain Certification Standard.
Accreditation: This is to ensure that the organisations which undertake certification assessment — the Certification Bodies — are competent to undertake credible, consistent audits.
Process requirements: This is the process for establishing whether or not a set of requirements (i.e. the Standard) has been met and is carried out by an accredited Certification Body. The RSPO systems are detailed in the RSPO Certification Systems (see section below) and RSPO Supply Chain Certification Systems documents.

Standards Setting Process

RSPO Principles and Criteria are developed and revised every five years. The standards setting process is done following best practices as stipulated by ISEAL. The process of revision of the standards will follow the Standard Operation Procedures for Standards Setting (2014) which undergoes several rigorous steps, especially stakeholder consultations. Similar process is also undertaken for all RSPO generic documents under the RSPO Certification scheme, including the development and revision of National Interpretation. The development of National Interpretations is currently following processes stipulated in the RSPO Certification System document (2007). New elements of the Standard Operation Procedures for Standards Setting (2014) will be incorporated into the revised RSPO Certification System document.
RSPO Certification Systems

No public claims relating to compliance with the RSPO Principles and Criteria can be made without third-party verification and certification by an independent, accredited Certification Body. The Accreditation Body will certify sustainable palm oil production, as stated in the RSPO Certification Systems. Growers will be assessed for certification once every 5 years, and if certified, will be annually assessed for continued compliance (the cost of audits will be borne by the producer who seeks RSPO certification).

After 5 years the main assessment will be repeated. The objective of these detailed requirements is to ensure that RSPO assessments are carried out with objectivity and consistency, together with the required levels of technical rigour and stakeholder credibility.
Why is this important?

The palm oil supply chain, from the tropics to its use as an ingredient in retail products all over the world, is complex.

To ensure the credibility of the sustainability claim at the end of the supply chain, all organisations that take legal ownership and physically handle RSPO certified sustainable oil palm products need to be supply chain certified.

Transparency and credibility are assured through RSPO Supply Chain Certification and RSPO Principles and Criteria Certification.

About the RSPO Principles & Criteria

Sustainable palm oil production is comprised of legal, economically viable, environmentally appropriate and socially beneficial management and operations. At the heart of RSPO certification are the RSPO Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Palm Oil Production (including Indicators and Guidance, revised November 2013), the global guidelines for producing palm oil sustainably.

The Principles & Criteria are a generic document. Since countries differ in their laws for the same criteria, such as minimum wages for workers for example, and there are cultural and other differences, the Principles &Criteria are further adapted for use by each country through National Interpretations.

Badan Akreditasi akan mensertifikasi produksi minyak sawit berkelanjutan, sebagaimana tercantum dalam Sistem Sertifikasi RSPO. Petani akan dinilai untuk sertifikasi setiap 5 tahun sekali, dan jika bersertifikat, akan tahunnya dinilai untuk kepatuhan terus (biaya audit akan ditanggung oleh produsen yang mencari sertifikasi RSPO).

Setelah 5 tahun penilaian utama akan diulang. Tujuan dari persyaratan rinci adalah untuk memastikan bahwa penilaian RSPO dilaksanakan dengan objektivitas dan konsistensi, bersama-sama dengan tingkat yang diperlukan ketelitian teknis dan kredibilitas stakeholder.
Mengapa? Penting

Rantai pasokan minyak sawit, dari daerah tropis dengan penggunaannya sebagai bahan dalam produk ritel di seluruh dunia, adalah kompleks.

untuk menjamin kredibilitas klaim keberlanjutan pada akhir rantai pasokan, semua organisasi yang mengambil kepemilikan hukum dan fisik menangani RSPO produk bersertifikat kelapa sawit yang berkelanjutan perlu rantai pasokan bersertifikat .

Transparansi dan kredibilitas yakin melalui Pasokan RSPO Rantai Sertifikasi dan Prinsip dan Kriteria RSPO Sertifikasi.

Tentang Prinsip & Kriteria RSPO

produksi minyak sawit berkelanjutan terdiri dari manajemen dan operasi hukum, ekonomis, yang ramah lingkungan dan bermanfaat secara sosial. Di jantung sertifikasi RSPO adalah Prinsip dan Kriteria RSPO untuk Produksi Minyak Sawit Berkelanjutan (termasuk Indikator dan Bimbingan, direvisi November 2013), pedoman global untuk memproduksi minyak sawit berkelanjutan.

Prinsip & Kriteria adalah dokumen generik. Karena negara-negara berbeda dalam undang-undang mereka untuk kriteria yang sama, seperti upah minimum bagi pekerja misalnya, dan ada budaya dan lainnya perbedaan, Prinsip & Kriteria selanjutnya disesuaikan untuk digunakan oleh masing-masing negara melalui Interpretasi Nasional.
