Certificate Number indicated on outgoing documents

SCC StandardSCC Standard4. Modular 4. Modular RequirementsRequirements

Modular Requirements

• Facility must comply with General Requirements and at

least one of the modules. • Several modules can be implemented simultaneously.• CPO Mills must apply either SG or MB • Modules:

• A Identity Preserved• B Segregation• C Mass Balance• D CPO Mills (Segregation)• E CPO Mills (MB)• F Multi Site Certification• G Group Scheme NEW 2013

Covered in this section

A/B – IP & SG

SEGREGATION

Segregation ensures receipt, processing and storage maintains RSPO products is physically separated

Source of Certified Material is identified

Product has minimum 95% RSPO certified product

Outgoing documentation identifies Certified product

• Follows same or less strict model of supplier (IP > SG > MB > Uncertified)

Processing

• 100-95% of source is identifiable to: • (a) a single mill and supply base (IP)• (b) certified segregated material (SG)

• Demonstrate (inc. procedures & record keeping) segregation:• Prevents physical mixing (isolated)• Transport and Storage

(note: handling non conformities or diversion of new crop to mill due to mill shutdowns)

Processing

95% rule

• Objective is for 100% CSPO product• Allows for minor contamination up to 5%

• Residual oils/products in storage tanks,

transport facilities• Tanks/pipes/valves need to have

procedures to handle different SCCS

systems (SG vs MB)

• Records and reports for at least 5 years• Documented proof that supply is traceable:

• (a) IP: to a single palm oil mill and supply• (b) SG: certified segregated material

• Trade names shall be indicated on relevant documents (e.g., purchase and sales contracts): • [Product Name]/IP or Identity Preserved• [Product Name]/IP or Segreagated

MASS BALANCE

MB products are purchasedMB Yield Scheme used to determine how much MB products can be sold

Mixed sources of FFB (certified and non-certified)

Product has minimum 95% RSPO certified product

Facility maintains an account of volume of certified material received and processed

• Follows same or less strict model of supplier (IP > SG > MB > Uncertified)

Processing

• Records and reports for at least 5 years. • Trade names shall be indicated on relevant documents

(e.g., purchase and sales contracts): • [Product Name]/MB or Mass Balance

Record Keeping

• Quantity of physical RSPO mass balance material inputs and outputs (volume or weight) at the physical site are monitored on a real-time basis.

• Accounting of material ensures:• Delivery of MB sales from positive stock• Allows for short selling (sales ahead of actual

receipt)• MB volume starts from date it enters the accounting

system and is deducted when it is allocated to outputs supplied by the organisation.

• MB claims on outputs matches inputs as per yield scheme.

Mass Balancing System

MB Suppy Chain Yield Scheme

New

• SG palm and palm kernel products can be used to support a MB claim, without a physical/chemical link between the SG product and the derivative sold as MB.

• However…SG palm oil products cannot be used to offset mass balance claims on palm kernel products or vice versa.

Mass Balancing Scheme

Palm Kernel MB Yield Scheme100 mt palm

kernels

45 mt palm kernel oil

29.2 mt PKO olein

15.8 mt PKO stearin

+

Companies that purchase segregated palm kernel products can either:•Apply segregated claim to all subsequent derivatives …..OR•Use it to offset sales of equal volumes of MB palm kernel derivatives(not necessarily derived from the segregated product acquired)

PK Mass Balancing Scheme

PK MB/SG Yield SchemeModel Yield Scheme

MB100 mt PK --> 45 mt PKO --> 15.8 mt PKO Stearin + 29.2 PKO Olein

SG-a Apply segregated claim to all derivatives

SG-bOffset equal volumes of MB PK-derivatives with SG PK-products

Refinery receives an order for 1,600 mt of CSPO MB Olein.

2,000 mt RBDPO is required to produce 1,6000 mt of Oleine.

It has in the RSPO account 5,000 mt MB CPO and 3,000 mt CPO in physical

stock.

Following should occur:

1.Physical stock is refined to produce 1,600 mt MB Oleine.

2.2,000 mt is deducted from the RSPO account

3.400 mt of Stearin is added to the RSPO account.

Sales can be affected anytime in the future

Example: Harmonisation

Refinery purchases 1,000 mt of

CSPO MB.

Options for sales:

1.MB 1,000 mt Refined Palm Oil

(RBDPO); or

2.MB 800 mt Oleine and MB 200 mt

Stearin; or

3.MB 520 mt Double Frac Olein or

280 mt Palm Mid Fraction etc

PFAD, offset MB with equal volumes of SG

products

Example: HarmonisationRefinery purchases 1,000 mt of MB PK.

Options for sales:

1.MB 450 mt PKO; or

2.MB 158 mt PKO Stearin and 292 mt

PKO Olein

All other derivatives, offset MB with equal volumes

of SG products

1. 50 mt of SG + 10 mt of MB = 60 mt MB

2. 10 mt of non CSPO + 10 mt of SG = 10 mt MB

3. 10 mt of MB + 13 mt MB = 23 mt MB

4. 20 mt of MB + 10 mt of non CSPO = 20 mt of MB

Example: Combined

1. 1,000 mt SG/IP CPO = 1,000 mt MB of any fractions

2. 1,000 mt SG/IP PKO = 1,000 mt MB of any fractions

(e.g., PFAD, etc)

BUT cannot buy SG CPO for MB PK fractions or vice versa

Example: Substitution

SCC StandardSCC StandardConclusionConclusion

Conclusion

• The SCCS certificate covers all operators who legally

own or physically handle RSPO certified products.• SCCS requirements focus on handling, accounting

and communication of use of certified products.• Three supply chain models are covered:

• Book & Claim• Segregated and Identity Preserve• Mass Balance
