永續森林經營發生的二三事...PEFC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 8.2 & I 8.2.10)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 8.2 & I 8.2.10).

PEFC（Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification，森林驗證認可計畫）與FSC (Forest Stewardship Council，森林經營委員會)，同為全球兩大森林驗證系統。全球林業經營者，在追求森林的永續經營上，所採用的經營標準內容，有否差異呢?我們將瞭解PEFC的驗證框架之原則與準則內容，及如何準備PEFC驗證的要求。

8. Operation運營

8.2 Maintenance of forest ecosystem health and vitality.

8.2維護森林生態系統的健康和活力

8.2.10 The use of pesticides shall follow the instructions given by the pesticide producer and be implemented with proper equipment by trained personnel.

8.2.10 農藥的使用應遵循農藥生產商的指示，由受過適當教育訓練的人員使用適當的設備實施。

可能資料的整備：

        使用農藥時，必須仔細閱讀並嚴格遵守農藥生產商提供的使用說明。這包括使用劑量、施用方式、安全防護措施等。負責施用農藥的人員必須接受專業的訓練，了解農藥的特性、危害性以及正確的施用方法。施用農藥時，必須使用適當的施用設備，以確保農藥能夠準確、安全地施用。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.        詳細記錄每次農藥使用的日期、農藥種類、使用劑量、施用面積、施用人員等資訊。

2.        提供農藥施用人員的培訓紀錄，包括培訓內容、時間、講師等。

3.        提供施用農藥設備的維護紀錄，確保設備能夠正常運作。

4.        保存所有使用的農藥的安全數據表，以備查。

PEFC and FSC are the two biggest names in forest certification. So, what's the difference between these two systems? Are they asking forest managers to do completely different things to get certified? Let's dive into PEFC and see what it takes to get certified:

8. Operation

8.2 Maintenance of forest ecosystem health and vitality.

8.2.10 The use of pesticides shall follow the instructions given by the pesticide producer and be implemented with proper equipment by trained personnel.

Preparation of possible information:

        When using pesticides, it is essential to carefully read and strictly follow the instructions for use provided by the pesticide manufacturer. This includes the dosage used, the method of application, safety precautions, etc. Those responsible for the application of pesticides must be professionally trained to understand the characteristics of pesticides, their hazards, and the correct application methods. When applying pesticides, it is essential to use appropriate application equipment to ensure that the pesticides can be applied accurately and safely. Therefore, the organization should prepare the following information:

1.        Record in detail the date, pesticide type, dosage, application area, application personnel and other information of each pesticide use.

2.        Provide training records of pesticide application personnel, including training content, time, lecturers, etc.

3.        Provide maintenance records of pesticide application equipment to ensure that the equipment can operate normally.

4.        Keep safety data sheets for all pesticides used for future reference.
