PEFC Standard Revision – public consultation

PEFC invites to comment on the revised Standard Setting standard – PEFC ST 1001:201X.

This standard sets the rules for national standard development and revision. Core principles of the standard development are stakeholder engagement, balanced representation of different interests, consensus building, continuous improvement and transparency.

 

The revised document introduces improvements to the standard setting itself, including:

• Inclusion of the nine major stakeholder groups of Agenda 21 (UNCED)
• Increased effort to get key stakeholders around the table
• Additional rounds of public consultation
