Ongoing assessments
The assessment of national and regional forest certification systems, carried out by independent PEFC Register Assessors, ensures these systems meet our international requirements.
Here you can find all the national and regional systems currently undergoing the PEFC assessment process. We have arranged the systems so you can see where they are in the assessment process. At the bottom of the page, you can see the systems that have most recently completed the process and are in full compliance with the PEFC requirements.
