PEFC is an "umbrella scheme" which endorses national schemes. The Canadian scheme, CSA, and the North American, SFI, were initially assessed by CPET but they have now been endorsed by PEFC and therefore a separate assessement is no longer required.
Furhter information on Sustainable Forestry Initiative SFI is available here and on Canadian Standards Association scheme CSA here.
Information on the technical methodology of the assessment of certification schemes is available here.
