The RSPO Secretariat has approved the revised Honduras NI (HN NI) document on 9th September 2015. HN NI 2015, as it is known, is based on the RSPO P&C 2013 and supersedes HN NI 2012 which has been used for certification of plantations and mills in Republic of Honduras.
HN NI 2015 has been developed by a task force following the requirement stated in Annex 1a of the RSPO Certification System (2007) (amended 2011) document.
Following procedures, the draft document produced has been reviewed by the RSPO Secretariat for its consistency with P&C 2013.
The approved document is effective immediately. Certification bodies (CBs) and RSPO member companies are strongly encourages to start using HN NI 2015 for any new audits as well as annual surveillance audits (ASAs). It is compulsory for all audits and ASAs carried out from 8th November 2015 to be based on the HN NI 2015.
The HN NI 2015 document is available here .
