Description
The Forest Stewardship Council ® (FSC ®), requires the traceability of products of forest origin and of projects connected with their use to be certified. Traceability certification of FSC ®-CoC products creates a chain of custody that allows organizations, by monitoring the flow of raw materials, to control the origin of incoming and outgoing forest products.
Project certification according to FSC ®-STD-40-006 aims to validate a partial or complete single project involving the use of products of forest origin.
FSC ® certificates apply to any organization involved in the production chain of forest products, except those that do not physically possess the products/materials (e.g. transport companies).
