PEFC endorsement decision delayed

8th April 2013

PEFC UK submitted the amended UKWAS 3.1 to PEFC Council for its endorsement last year and a decision had originally been anticipated in November 2012.

There have further been delays in the endorsement process but PEFC UK advise that they now anticipate a decision to be confirmed by the PEFC Board by the end of May 2013.
