The RSPO Secretariat has approved the revised Papua New Guinea NI (PNG NI) document on 1st September 2015. PNG NI 2015, as it is known, is based on the RSPO P&C 2013 and supersedes PNG NI 2012 which has been used for certification of plantations and mills in Papua New Guinea.
PNG 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 PNG NI 2015 for any new audits as well as annual surveillance audits (ASAs). It is compulsory for all audits and ASAs carried out from 1st November 2015 to be based on the PNG NI 2015.
