ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

ISO 34101-2:2019(E)

Introduction
The ISO 34101 series specifies requirements for the sustainable production of cocoa beans, for traceability
of sustainably produced cocoa and for the scheme for certifying sustainable and traceable cocoa.
Sustainably produced cocoa beans are obtained by fulfilling the management system requirements
of either ISO 34101-1 or ISO 34101-4:2019, Annex A or B, and the performance requirements of this
document.
The stepwise approach of the ISO 34101 series comprises three requirement levels: entry, medium
and high. The requirements for the three levels for the performance requirements are all specified in
this document. The requirements for the three levels for the cocoa sustainability management system
requirements are specified in ISO 34101-1 or ISO 34101-4 as follows:
— entry: ISO 34101-4:2019, Annex A;
— medium: ISO 34101-4:2019, Annex B;
— high: ISO 34101-1.
An organization that is sustainably producing cocoa beans can apply for initial certification to any level
and will then be on a path towards a higher level until the high level is reached. The path from entry
level to medium level can take up to 60 months. The path from medium level to high level can take up to
60 months.
The performance requirements specified in this document are complementary to the cocoa
sustainability management system requirements. Only organizations that fulfil both the cocoa
sustainability management system requirements (either ISO 34101-1 or ISO 34101-4:2019, Annex A
or B) and the performance requirements (this document) may claim their cocoa beans have been
sustainably produced.
ISO 34101-3 specifies the requirements for traceability of sustainably produced cocoa (fulfilling the
requirements of the ISO 34101 series) from an organization that is sustainably producing cocoa beans
and throughout the cocoa supply chain.
ISO 34101-4 specifies the requirements for the scheme for certifying traceable, sustainably produced
cocoa conforming to the requirements of the ISO 34101 series and includes the requirements for the
entry and medium level for the cocoa sustainability management system.

1 Scope
This document specifies performance requirements related to economic, social and environmental
aspects for sustainable cocoa bean production, including post-harvest processes, if applicable.
