PEFC is an "umbrella scheme" which endorses national schemes. The Canadian scheme, CSA and the North American, SFI has been endorsed by PEFC.
The Malaysian MTCC was assessed by CPET and found to only meet legality. The new Malaysian standard, MTCS meets the sustainability criteria and has now also been endorsed by PEFC, but is not yet available.
