3. Certification Protocol: Bonsucro has developed a Certification Protocol for membersand auditors that lists the process and procedures for certification against theBonsucro standards. This includes: 1.) rules and requirements for Certification Bodiesto audit against the Bonsucro standards, 2.) certification requirements for economicoperators to demonstrate compliance to the Bonsucro standards, and 3.) auditprocedures for Certification Bodies to verify compliance with the Bonsucro standards.Together these 3 elements form the Bonsucro Certification System. As such, theseindividual documents can never be used as stand-alone documents and must always beused in relation to each other.The scope of the Bonsucro Certification System can be with or without compliance to EURenewable Energy Directive (RED) and its similar provisions in the EU Fuel Quality Directive(FQD). As such, the Bonsucro Certification System makes a distinction between 2 mainscopes:1. ―Bonsucro‖: compliant with Bonsucro requirements2. ―Bonsucro EU‖: compliant with Bonsucro requirements PLUS additionalrequirements that are needed for EU RED complianceWithin the Bonsucro Certification System documents (i.e. Standards, Audit Guidance, andCertification Protocol) the extra Bonsucro EU requirements are clearly marked. Both theBonsucro scope and the Bonsucro EU scope form part of the overall ‗Bonsucro CertificationSystem‘ and will be referred to as such from here onwards.For compliance with the Bonsucro EU scope ALL requirements need to be met (e.g.Bonsucro PLUS additional EU RED requirements). Bonsucro EU certification is equivalent toBonsucro certification. Whereas the contrary does not apply; Bonsucro certification is notequivalent to Bonsucro EU certification.
