Purpose of the webinar

As RFNBO certification under the RFNBO Scope of the CertifHy EU Voluntary Scheme moves from theory into operational reality, projects are encountering recurring implementation challenges. This recorded webinar shares the key lessons CertifHy has gathered from real certification and precertification exercises, including:

  • Where projects most commonly struggle
  • What successful projects do differently
  • Recurring non-conformities identified in early audits
  • How to better structure and de-risk your certification journey

What You Will Learn

  • Key implementation learnings from real RFNBO projects — recurring patterns, operational bottlenecks, and practical solutions.
  • Common certification pain points — management systems, electricity sourcing, GHG calculations, Union Database readiness, Proof of Sustainability workflows, and complex production setups.
  • What differentiates well-prepared projects — how early anticipation and internal readiness reduce risks and delays.
  • How to structure your certification journey — from Academy training and guidance to precertification and full operational readiness.
  • What is evolving next — RFNBO implementation developments and upcoming Low-Carbon Scope developments.
