OPEN REVIEWS

SFA Fibre Processing Standard v2.0 – Public Consultation

Public consultation is now open on the draft SFA Fibre Processing Standard v2.0, the proposed revision of the Clean Fibre Processing Standard.

We invite stakeholders from across the natural fibre sector to review the draft Standard and share their feedback through our online consultation form. The consultation is open until 6 November 2026.

Consultation materials are available in English and Chinese. You can review the draft Standard in either language and download a copy of the consultation questions to consider in advance of submitting your responses through the online feedback form.

Please note: The Chinese translation is provided to support stakeholder participation in the public consultation. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the English and Chinese versions of the draft Standard, the English version shall prevail.

Provide Your Feedback

If you experience any barriers to participating in the consultation or require additional support, please contact the SFA Standards team at standards@sustainablefibre.org.

PREVIOUS REVIEWS

Below is a list of the previous reviews on the SFA’s Standards System with links to their Statements of Intent, Summary of Changes or Consultation Feedback documents. These detailed reports provide background information on the prior versions of the standards, outcomes of their review processes and stakeholder engagement reports.

HOW ARE REVIEWS CONDUCTED

Any standards review will include two rounds of open consultation, where the public has the opportunity to provide their feedback on the content and structure of our standards. This ensures we have input from individuals regardless of their location, ethnicity, perspective or sector. We are particularly interested to hear from under-represented stakeholders that will be impacted by our work and are always looking for experts and practitioners in the subject areas of animal welfare (in particular humane slaughter and injurious procedures), decent work and rangeland management.

The SFA is committed to a process of continuous improvement. The ongoing development and review of our standard system is conducted according to our Standard Setting Procedure, which makes reference to the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Sustainability Systems – both of which are available to view below or on our Resources page.

This Procedure is founded on the credibility principles of improvement, relevance, rigour, engagement, transparency and engagement. Reviews of our standard system are open to the public and start with consulting with a wide range of stakeholders and subject experts to ensure that we strike the right balance between sustainability objectives and feasible implementation in the field.  We make particular effort to ensure that herding communities and other marginalised groups from Mongolia and China have their say through targeted in-person workshops and interviews.
