Dear Certification Bodies,


In alignment with the RSPO Certification Systems for P&C and ISH 2020 when a CB is using Technical Experts/Local Experts/Translators in an audit, it is expected that the names and affiliations of these experts must be noted in the audit reports. This would give a consistent documented reporting that is sufficient to ensure strong confidence in the conformance and commensurate with the claims being made by certification bodies. 


Thank you
