The endorsement process
After developing our standard in line with the PEFC requirements, MFCC submitted the system to PEFC for endorsement. The national system is now undergoing the PEFC assessment process, carried out by an independent PEFC Registered Assessor.
In order to achieve the endorsement, it must pass their process and be approved by the PEFC General Assembly. In addition, an important aspect of the assessment process is the public consultation. Over the sixty-day consultation, stakeholders from around the world can give their comments and provide feedback on any aspect of the system. The Registered Assessor will use the information received from this consultation in their assessment of the system.
