ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a detailed look into the processes of the Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) auditing requirements. Several aspects are already covered by the FSC FM Certification section (Sections 2,3, and 4 of Chapter 13) and thus will not be repeated again. After exploring the main concepts (paragraph 16.1), the chapter first focuses on the auditor and the auditing team (paragraph 16.2) and then looks at the different tasks required when performing an audit (paragraph 16.3). Several aspects of the auditing approach are very similar to FSC FM Certification and thus will not be repeated again. Then, different evaluation types are enumerated, and their specificities described (paragraph 16.4). Some final considerations are provided in paragraph 16.5.
