MTCC is pleased to announce that Control Union (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. is now an accredited Certification Body (CB) authorised to conduct independent third-party certification of forest plantation management under the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS). The national Accreditation Body, STANDARDS MALAYSIA granted Control Union the accreditation on 15 July 2021 resulted from the company’s success in fulfilling the requirements for the Accreditation of Certification Bodies of the PEFC endorsed scheme.
Following the accreditation, Control Union had applied to the PEFC Notification Committee to be recognised as a PEFC notified CB. The company was granted PEFC notification on 26 July 2021 to conduct forest plantation management certification using the prescribed Malaysian Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management (MC&I SFM) standard. As a PEFC notified CB, the company is also authorised to issue MTCS and PEFC recognised forest management certificates to Forest Management Units (FMUs) which have successfully met the standard requirements. Control Union was assigned PEFC Trademark Licence number PEFC/34-44-009 and MTCC Logo Usage Licence number MTCC/44-009.
With the addition of Control Union, the total number of PEFC notified CBs operating forest management certification has increased to two, bringing in positive development of the continued efforts in managing forests sustainably through certification particularly during these challenging times.
MTCC would like to congratulate Control Union on the achievement and looks forward to see more FMUs in Malaysia to be certified under the MTCS.
