This guidance document offers suggestions as input for consideration for the recent EUDR guidelines on the use of certification.

ISEAL has built a broad-based consensus around what constitutes credible operating practices for sustainability certification schemes. Our Code of Good Practice captures this consensus in a publicly available normative document against which all ISEAL Code compliant members have been evaluated. Many of the core components of our Code of Good Practice are relevant for consideration in guidance for implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), including requirements around certification, data management, traceability and claims.
