FSC certification assessment content includes: forest investigation, management planning, forest harvesting, forest infrastructure related laws and regulations, and environmental, economic and social aspects. Product chain-of-custody certification is to certify the entire process from the forest management in the place of origin to the harvested logs and their transportation, processing, and circulation to the final consumer. The uniqueness of FSC forest certification is that it is market-based and relies on trade and international markets to operate. Before 1992, non-governmental organizations had the idea of certification, but no progress was made at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. After the Environmental Development Conference, they began to vigorously promote this new system for organic certification. FSC certification is highly recognized by the market worldwide. The global forest certification system supported by non-governmental environmental organizations and trade organizations is currently a relatively mature and complete forest certification system. FSC forest certification is just because environmental non-governmental organizations and civil organizations realized that some countries have made policy mistakes in improving forest management, international intergovernmental organizations have limited effectiveness in solving forest problems, and forest product trade cannot prove the origin of their products. Later, as a market mechanism to promote sustainable forest management, FSC forest certification was initiated and gradually developed in the early 1990s. In recent years, BSCI audits have been very hot in foreign trade exports, and many EU customers require their domestic suppliers to conduct BSCI audits. All staff involved in the implementation of this certification program must obtain work qualifications on the basis of appropriate education, training, and practice. Staff training and practice records must be maintained within the appropriate scope of operation. They provide an international forum for discussing global forestry policy issues. The BSCI certified standard and indicator system for sustainable forest management: including 9 processes including the Montreal process, the Helsinki process, and the ITTO process. A total of about 150 countries have participated in each process. It establishes good forest management standards and indicators acceptable to the public. Of the two forest management units assessed by China's FSC, a state-owned forest farm and a forest development company are both certified by the export company that purchases its raw materials. At the same time, another 77 domestic wood processing companies have obtained FSC chain of custody certification. FSC forest certification, also called timber certification, PEFC certification is a tool that uses market mechanisms to promote sustainable forest management and achieve ecological, social and economic goals. The production and marketing chain of custody certification is to appraise each production link of a wood processing enterprise, including the entire chain from log transportation, processing to circulation, and CARB certification to ensure that the final product originates from a certified, well-managed forest.
