Indonesian National Interpretation Working Group
(RSPO INA-NIWG)
November 2007
Final Document National Interpretation of RSPO Principles & Criteria for Indonesia
Preamble
The Indonesian National Interpretation is based on the generic document on Principles and Criteria for
Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO - P&C), which will be used as guideline for Sustainable Palm Oil and thereby
attaining certification. This National Interpretation has conformed to the National Laws and Regulations of
The Republic of Indonesia and has been compiled based on the consensus of participating stakeholders
from the Palm Oil Industry in Indonesia.
The development process of this National Interpretation refers to the RSPO Certification System Final
Document version approved by the RSPO Executive Board on 26 th June 2007. This process has involved
stakeholder participation and completed with major and minor indicators, the process of field testing and
also public consultation which involved even more stakeholders. The major and minor indicators in the
National Interpretation are determined in accordance to the requirement of Annex 3 RSPO Certification
System: Major Nonconformities against the RSPO Principles and Criteria definition of compulsory
indicators.
The National Interpretation is compiled in 2 (two) languages; Indonesian and English Languages. In case,
there is any difference in meaning between Indonesian and English version, the final reference should be
the National Interpretation in Indonesia language version.
The National Interpretation will be revised periodically in accordance to any changes to the generic
Principles and Criteria determined by RSPO.
Finally, RSPO INA-NIWG expresses gratitude to all parties who have given their contribution and assistance
in the development and completion of this document.

Criterion 1.2
Management documents are publicly
available, except where this is
prevented by commercial
confidentiality or where disclosure of
information would result in negative
environmental or social outcomes.
1. Information requests and responses must include any

relevant or required documentation, in accordance to
applicable national laws, such as:
Legal: Land titles/user rights (Site Permit (Izin
Lokasi), Plantation Operation Permit (Izin
Usaha Perkebunan), Land Use Title (Hak Guna
Usaha) or other documentation relating to
application for Land Use Title in accordance to

Criterion 2.2
The right to use the land can be
demonstrated, and is not legitimately

customary rights, of other users,
without their free, prior and informed
consent.

1. Records of any negotiated

agreements between traditional
owners of land and plantation
companies (if any),
supplemented with maps in
appropiate scale.
Where there is a conflict on the condition of land use as per land title,
growers should show evidence that necessary action has been taken
to resolve the conflict with relevant parties.
For any conflict or dispute over the land, the extent of the disputed
area should be mapped out in a participatory way.
Ensure a mechanism to solve the conflict (Criteria 6.3 and 6.4)
All operations should cease on land planted beyond the legal
boundary.
Where lands are encumbered by legal or customary rights, the grower

must demonstrate that these rights are understood and are not being
threatened or reduced. This criterion should be considered in conjunction
with criteria 6.4, 7.5 and 7.6. Where customary rights areas are unclear
these are best established through participatory mapping exercises
involving affected and neighbouring communities.
This criterion allows for sales and negotiated agreements to compensate
other users for lost benefits and/or relinquished rights. Negotiated
agreements should be non-coercive and entered into voluntarily, carried
out prior to new investments or operations and based on an open sharing
of all relevant information in appropriate forms and languages, including
assessments of impacts, proposed benefit sharing and legal arrangements.
Communities must be permitted to seek legal counsel if they so choose.
Communities must be represented through institutions or representatives of
their own choosing, operating transparently and in open communication
with other community members. Adequate time must be given for
customary decision-making and iterative negotiations allowed for, where
requested. Negotiated agreements should be binding on all parties and
enforceable in the courts. Establishing certainty in land negotiations is of
long-term benefit for all parties.

See also criteria 5.1 and 6.1.

The impact assessment should be carried out by accredited independent experts, in
order to ensure an objective process. A participatory methodology including external
stakeholder groups is essential to the identification of impacts, particularly social
impacts. Stakeholders such as local communities, government departments and
NGOs should be involved, through the use of interviews and meetings, and by
reviewing findings and plans for mitigation.
The potential impacts of all major proposed activities should be assessed prior to
development. The assessment should include, in no order of preference, as a
minimum:
Assessment of the impacts of all major planned activities, including

planting, mill operations, roads and other infrastructure.
Assessment, including stakeholder consultation, of High Conservation
Values (see criterion 7.3) that could be negatively affected.
Assessment of potential effects on adjacent natural ecosystems of planned
developments, including whether development or expansion will increase
pressure on nearby natural ecosystems.
Identification of watercourses and assessment of potential

effects on hydrology by planned developments. Measures
should be planned and implemented to maintain the quantity
and quality of water resources.
Baseline soil surveys and topographic information, including
the identification of marginal and fragile soils, areas prone to
erosion and slopes unsuitable for planting.
Analysis of type of land to be used (forest, degraded forest,
cleared land).
Analysis of land ownership and user rights.
Analysis of current land use patterns.
Assessment of potential social impact on surrounding
communities of a plantation, including an analysis of
differential effect on women versus men, ethnic
communities, migrant versus long-term residents.
Plans and field operations should be developed and implemented to

incorporate the results of the assessment. One potential outcome of

Definitions
Customary rights: Patterns of long standing community land and resource usage in
accordance with indigenous peoples customary laws, values, customs and traditions,
including seasonal or cyclical use rather than formal legal title to land and resources issued
by the State. (From World Bank Operational Policy 4.10).
Environmental Impact Assessment: a process of predicting and evaluating the effects of an
action or series of actions on the environment, then using the conclusions as a tool in
planning and decision-making.
High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF): The forest necessary to maintain or enhance one
or more High Conservation Values (HCVs):
HCV1. Forest areas containing globally, regionally or nationally significant concentrations
of biodiversity values (e.g. endemism, endangered species).
HCV2. Forest areas containing globally, regionally or nationally significant large
landscape level forests, contained within, or containing the management unit, where
viable populations of most if not all naturally occurring species exist in natural patterns of
distribution and abundance.
HCV3. Forest areas that are in or contain rare, threatened or endangered ecosystems.
HCV4. Forest areas that provide basic services of nature in critical situations (e.g.
watershed protection, erosion control).
HCV5. Forest areas fundamental to meeting basic needs of local communities (e.g.
subsistence, health).
HCV6. Forest areas critical to local communities traditional cultural identity (areas of
cultural, ecological, economic or religious significance identified in cooperation with such
local communities).
(See: The HCVF Toolkit available from www.hcvnetwork.org)
ISO Standards: Standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO: see http://www.iso.ch/iso).
Natural vegetation: Areas where many of the principal characteristics and key elements of
native ecosystems such as complexity, structure and diversity are present.
Plantation: The land containing oil palm and associated land uses such as infrastructure
(e.g., roads), riparian zones and conservation set-asides.
Primary Forest: A primary forest is a forest that has never been logged and has developed
following natural disturbances and under natural processes, regardless of its age. Also
included as primary, are forests that are used inconsequentially by indigenous and local
communities living traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of
biological diversity. The present cover is normally relatively close to the natural composition
and has arisen (predominantly) through natural regeneration. National interpretations should
consider whether a more specific definition is required. (From FAO Second Expert Meeting
On Harmonizing Forest-Related Definitions For Use By Various Stakeholders, 2001,
http://www.fao.org/documents/show_cdr.asp?
url_file=/DOCREP/005/Y4171E/Y4171E11.htm).
Prophylactic: A treatment or course of action applied as a preventive measure.
Restore: Returning degraded or converted areas within the plantation to a semi-natural state.
Smallholders: Farmers growing oil palm, sometimes along with subsistence production of
other crops, where the family provides the majority of labour and the farm provides the
principal source of income and where the planted area of oil palm is usually below 25
hectares in size.
Stakeholders: An individual or group with a legitimate and/or demonstrable interest in, or
who is directly affected by, the activities of an organisation and the consequences of those
activities.
39 of 50
Outgrowers: Farmers, where the sale of FFB is exclusively contracted to the grower/miller.
Outgrowers may be smallholders.
Undue influence: The exertion by a third party of any kind of control such that a person signs
a contract or other agreement which, absent the influence of the third party, he would not
have signed.
Use rights: Rights for the use of forest resources that can be defined by local custom, mutual
agreements, or prescribed by other entities holding access rights. These rights may restrict
the use of particular resources to specific levels of consumption or particular harvesting
techniques.
