The PEFC Council has recently revised the guidance document PEFC GD 1006:2012<\/em>, PEFC Notification of Certification Bodies by PEFC Council<\/em>, which stipulates the revised structure and tariffs of fees charged for issued PEFC certificates<\/em> for forest management and chain of custody (CoC), and PEFC Logo usage licenses<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The PEFC Council is now charging only Notification fee<\/em> per issued certificate, without charging an additional logo usage fee<\/em> to the certificate holder for the PEFC Logo usage license<\/em>. With the revised fee structure, a PEFC Logo usage license<\/em> will be available for the certified entity (FMU or company) without any additional cost<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

PEFC is of the view that the revised approach has the following main advantages:<\/p>\n

(i)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 certificate holders need not pay an additional logo usage fee after having obtained certification; and.<\/p>\n

(ii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 a higher number of PEFC logo usage license holders would translate into an increased logo use.<\/p>\n

In relation to this, MTCC will now impose a PEFC Notification fee<\/em> on all the certificate holders, and this fee will be collected annually by the certification bodies on behalf of MTCC as part of the total auditing cost.<\/p>\n

The PEFC Notification fee<\/em> that will be charged under the MTCS and the amount collected will be based on the following arrangement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Notification Category<\/strong><\/th>\nSubsets<\/strong><\/th>\nAnnual Fee (RM)<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
\u00a0A. \u00a0Forest Management Certificates<\/td>\n\u00a0Natural Forest and Forest \u00a0Plantations<\/td>\nRM0.018 per ha of certified forest<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0B. \u00a0CoC Certificates<\/td>\n\u00a0Based on annual total turnover (RM):<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Up to 5 Million<\/td>\n300.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Over 5 Million and up to 20 \u00a0Million<\/td>\n500.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Over 20 Million and up to 50 \u00a0Million<\/td>\n750.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Over 50 Million and up to 100 \u00a0Million<\/td>\n1,000.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Over 100 Million<\/td>\n2,000.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Please take note that the Notification fee<\/em> will be collected beginning 1 July 2014<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MTCC would like to thank all the certificate holders for the continuous support and full cooperation in this matter.<\/p>\n
