As a strong professional editor who has been engaged in FSC certification for many years, I will introduce you to the purpose of FSC certification chain of custody

The FSC Chain of Custody (Chain of Custody) is a complete path from the forest to the consumer, including all stages of manufacturing, processing and distribution.

The FSC chain of custody certification proves that the wood products certified by the FSC chain of custody are from effective management forests that have been certified by the FSC chain of custody, and confirm that in the FSC chain of custody, these wood products are not uncertified except when they are strictly controlled using the percentage mark. Forest wood products mix.

When a company makes material changes to wood or wood products, or has material or legal ownership of wood/wood products, they need to pass the FSC chain of custody certification.

The main factors for obtaining FSC Chain of Custody certification:

One step of an organization's implementation of FSC chain of custody certification is to identify critical control points (CCPs). CCPs refer to the key points at which FSC-certified and non-FSC-certified materials may be mixed during production and processing. Every key point identified requires control measures to ensure that the two materials will not be mixed.

The way to prevent mixing in CCPs is to combine identification, isolation and proper documentation and adequate training.

Records required by FSC Chain of Custody Auditor:

Keeping sufficient relevant records is an important part of maintaining the FSC chain of custody. All records should be clearly written and organized. FSC chain of custody certification auditors focus on the following aspects:

Procedures for identifying, collecting, filing, storing, maintaining and processing all relevant records

Retention period of related records-the selected time depends on the use of the record, but not less than five years
