1.7.4 Calculation of the Number of Production Units (N) to Sample for the Mill
N = 0.8√Y, where “Y” is the number of units, with the result always to be rounded “up” to the next whole integer. Where only a sample of the supply base is assessed, units not previously assessed, or assessed earlier in the certification program, are to be preferred over those more recently assessed
For the Mill, how many units make up the production base?
Owned estates (Y) N = 0.8√Y Smallholders (Z) N = 0.8√Z
5 2 0 0
Explanation as to the selection of estates sampled
As per above formula and random selection of the plantation and small holders are made for compliance assessment.
1.8 Progress of associated Smallholders or Out-growers, if applicable to this assessment
Progress of associated Smallholders or Out-growers towards Compliance with relevant Standards - should be in accordance to the 3 year implementation plan, if applicable to this assessment
Associated smallholders or out-growers are managed and monitored against the RSPO Group Scheme standards and an agreement signed between the group managers to comply with the RSPO standards has been mutually agreed. An initiative is being taken to include the self- managed smallholder to be associated within the time frame given.
