Auditors, reviewers, and certification decision makers are invited to register for a PEFC recognised chain of custody and EUDR DDS initial training on 4-5 November 2025.
Attending a PEFC recognised chain of custody initial training is a pre-requisite for an auditor wishing to issue certification against the PEFC chain of custody related standards, as required by PEFC ST 2003.
The training is also suitable for staff with chain of custody responsibilities working for PEFC certified companies, as well as staff members of PEFC national members who have already completed their initial auditor training.
