Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO): Part 4: General principles for palm oil mills
This Malaysian Standard provides general principles on the requirements for the mill to establish, maintain and improve their operational practices within a management system framework, which enables the adoption of a systematic and integrated approach towards attaining sustainable production of palm oil.
This standard covers the key areas of operations, comprising mill management systems, which involve activities ranging from the receiving of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) and to the production of crude palm oil and by-products.
The MSPO standard applies to all factors affecting palm oil production and its use can be monitored and influenced by the organisation. This standard is applicable with reference to the MPOB Codes of Practice and the Malaysian Standard Good Manufacturing Practice and can be used with other management systems and implemented by all mills dealing with processing of FFB and the production of crude palm oil and by-products.
