This is centred on the RSPO Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Palm Oil Production (RSPO P&C or P&C), adopted in 2007. The RSPO P&C was developed through a multi‐stakeholder process, specifically the RSPO Criteria Working Group (CWG) and serves as the standard for RSPO Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO)– representing around 20% or 12 million metric tons of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) globally. Conforming to international standards‐ setting best practices as set out by ISO and ISEAL Alliance, the P&C have been adapted to harmonise with national legislation in Malaysia through a Malaysia National Interpretation (MYNI) process. Comprising 8 Principles and 43 Criteria1, the RSPO P&C is the principle objective; specifically defining sustainable palm oil as comprising of legal, economically viable, environmentally appropriate and socially beneficial management and operations.  \nIn Malaysia, a process for developing a national standard for sustainable palm oil has been led by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) . Developed according to national standard setting protocol, the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) is a Malaysian Standard (MS) . It was developed under the authority the Malaysian Industry Standards Committee on Food, Food Products and Food Safety (ISCU) . The Technical Committee on Fats and Oils under MPOB was tasked with developing the MS standard. The MSPO became an official Malaysian Standard (under MS2530) in 2013.  \nThe MSPO and RSPO both serve similar roles for the palm oil industry in Malaysia, with common goals of a sustainable palm oil sector in Malaysia. Both entities are structured in developing a standard that is verifiable for the purpose of product certification and traceability. In addition, both standards target environmental and social subjects relevant to oil palm management and operations. RSPO members in Malaysia with CSPO units and future ones would benefit from understanding each certification system's requirements, where there is convergence or divergence. This is especially pertinent for Malaysian growers with aims to be MSPO‐certified.  \nAn understanding of the similarities and differences between both schemes would support future adoption of sustainable practices in Malaysia. Malaysian producers may adapt and organise operations and management to show compliance to criteria in both standards. This negates or decreases potential duplication, streamlines assessment planning for Certification Bodies and management units, and may be a future springboard for step‐wise improvements towards RSPO certification by Malaysian producers.  \nCertification standards and normative documents are designed and published as the exact articulation of the principles and criteria.
