News from Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is proud to announce that it is now one of only two global certification bodies accredited to offer both the FSC® Regulatory Module and the PEFC EUDR Due Diligence System (DDS) Module.
These certifications are critical tools in helping businesses across the timber and rubber supply chains meet the requirements of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). With accreditation in place, Intertek is now able to offer these services in all regions globally, supporting businesses in demonstrating their commitment to sustainable sourcing and regulatory compliance.
"This achievement reflects Intertek's ongoing commitment to supporting our customers with best-in-class assurance solutions that address evolving regulatory and market demands," said Rathin Grover, President of Intertek Business Assurance. "Being among the first to offer both FSC® and PEFC EUDR modules underscores our global leadership in sustainability assurance and our ability to help clients demonstrate responsible practices throughout their supply chains."
“As the EUDR begins to reshape supply chain expectations for timber and rubber entering the EU market, certification becomes a key enabler of transparency and accountability. Intertek is uniquely positioned to support our clients across geographies with both FSC® and PEFC-aligned modules, helping them navigate evolving regulatory landscapes with confidence” said Ciara McCarthy, Global Director of Forestry for Intertek Business Assurance.
The EUDR applies to companies placing specific commodities, including wood and rubber, on the EU market. By integrating FSC® and PEFC EUDR add-ons, businesses can strengthen their due diligence efforts and provide verified assurances to customers and regulators alike. Intertek’s digital traceability platform, EUDRTrace, can serve as a powerful complement to these certifications, enabling real-time data capture, enhanced transparency, and a streamlined path to compliance.
