PEFC Registered Assessors

The evaluation of a national forest certification system against the PEFC requirements is carried out by a PEFC Registered Assessor. The PEFC Registered Assessors are independent consultants with suitable qualifications and experience in the field of sustainable forest management.

Their assessments form an important professional and objective basis for the PEFC Council to decide whether to approve and endorse national forest certification systems.

Registered Assessor training

Each year, we hold meetings with the PEFC Registered Assessors to provide them with updates on the assessment process and to gather feedback on opportunities for further improvements, based on the experiences gathered over the previous years.

Previous meetings have enabled the assessors and PEFC International to walk through the assessment process together, identifying areas to improve the quality and transparency of the reporting and in the assessment process itself.

In addition to this yearly training, the assessors' performance is regularly reviewed.

We are not registering any new assessors at this time.
