On July 20, 2024, PEFC issued Standard PEFC ST 2002-1:2024 Requirements for the Implementation of PEFC EUDR Due Diligence System (PEFC EUDR DDS).
This standard applies globally to products made from wood and forest products, is implemented on a voluntary basis and is part of the PEFC Standard ST 2002:2020. The standard addresses three main issues in implementing DDS: (1) Collection of information; (2) Risk assessment; and (3) Risk mitigation.
Businesses that already have PEFC CoC certification can supplement their PEFC EUDR DDS implementation documents to demonstrate EUDR compliance when exporting to Europe.
PEFC Standard 2002-1:2024 can be found here: English version | Vietnamese translation for reference.
PEFC and VFCO will organize workshops and training courses to implement PEFC EUDR DDS in the near future. Follow VFCO’s website, Facebook, Zalo, and LinkedIN for detailed information.
