2.2 Assessment Methodology
The certification assessment of PTTN, Langga Payung Mill and its supply base at North Sumatera
was carried out from July 4 to 8, 2011. A pre audit also conducted in February 2011 to confirm the
scope of certification and the preparedness of the organization before certification asessment. The
assessment comprised four phases:
• A desk audit (document check) with a customised RSPO audit checklist according to the RSPO
manual, procedures and palm oil mill and estate working instructions;
• Review results of consultation with stakeholders prior to certification assessment. The detailed
method is given in Point 2.8;
• Background investigations (published disputes, public comments on preliminary
announcement), followed by interviews with RSPO management, employees and other
stakeholders (associated people, NGOs, land regulators, social watchers, labour union); and
• Verification of proposed corrective actions followed by review of the assessment report by
internal veto persons (Senior Manager of PT. TÜV NORD Indonesia).
The summary public report of this certification assessment includes Corrective Action Requests,
Corrective Actions Taken, Verification of Corrective Actions Taken and Progress in Implementation
of Corrective Actions to be checked in the Surveillance Audit.
The Non Conformities are broadly due to:
• Major Non Conformities:
- mistakes in interpretation of RSPO P&C by PTTN directly affecting the certification assessment;
- requirements of some RSPO P & C not met or, in other words, non-compliance to the P&C on
a major indicator(s);
These raise doubt on the capability of PTTN to achieve the desired results.
• Minor Non Conformities:
Where information is insufficient, unclear or insufficiently transparent to establish whether a
requirement is met, or non-compliance to the requirements of the RSPO P & C on a minor
indicator(s);
