5.8 Non-Conformities Identified during this Audit

Timeline for compliance: 1. All non-conformances observed during an audit shall be classified as ‘major’ since all requirements for

Supply Chain certification have to be met before granting certification. 2. For Main Assessments, all non-conformances shall be addressed satisfactorily by the operation before

certification may be granted by the certification body. If non-conformances are not addressed within three (3) months of the audit, a full re-audit shall be required. The certification body shall assess the effectiveness of the corrective and/or preventive actions taken before closing out the non-conformances.

3. For Annual Surveillance Assessments, non-conformances raised after the certification are serious (i.e. must be considered as a major) and the integrity of the RSPO Supply Chain Certification is at risk. A maximum of one month is to be given to the certified client to satisfactorily address the non-conformance. The certification body shall assess the effectiveness of the corrective and/or or preventive actions taken. Should the nonconformance not be addressed within the one-month maximum timeframe, a suspension or withdrawal of the certificate and a full re-audit may be necessary.

4. If no non-conformances are observed at an audit or when the corrective action plan has satisfactorily addressed raised non-conformance(s), the client shall be recommended for (re-) certification.

Non-were raised during this audit.

5.9 Description of the Organizational Management Systems

Including organizations, management and operational systems to ensure compliance with the RSPO Supply Chain Certification Systems and Standards as detailed above

Actual quantities of certified and non-certified FFB delivered to the mill are entered into a central computer system and the actual quantities of CPO and PK produced are also entered and the OER is known. The quantities of certified CPO and PK are shown in real time and summarized each day on a spreadsheet as are the quantities of non-certified CPO and PK.
