The review process also advocates the use of this approach

In the past 20 years, mankind's deforestation and poor management of forests have caused widespread forest decline, leading to a lack of global forest resources, deteriorating the ecological environment, and severely threatening the space on which mankind depends for survival. This issue has aroused the concern of people from all walks of life. They have adopted various measures in an attempt to curb the decline of forests and the reduction of forest area. The FSC certification is not effective. In the 1990s, people linked the sustainable management of forests with the wood sales market. Consumers with strong environmental awareness hope to support sustainable forest management by purchasing only wood products from well-managed forests. Forest certification emerged and developed vigorously to adapt to this market mechanism. Ensure that wood raw materials come from well-managed forests. Able to gain the trust of foreign customers and win more orders. Obtain information on the origin of wood products. FSC forest certification reduces economic and environmental risks. FSC trademarks can be used on products or other related places. Forest management and chain of custody certification allows customers to use FSC trademarks on certified products and communicate to their customers that their products come from well-managed forests. Successful certification can immediately make the world recognize that the products you provide come from responsible and well-managed forests, which will help reduce your overall risk in the face of the market, investors or business partners. Prove that commitments in the manufacturing process can transform your company's image and make products more acceptable. It can also be used as an effective market entry tool to help companies open up new global business opportunities and prove the company's commitment to environmental and social responsibility. Therefore, wood product companies have adopted COC certification as early as possible to adapt to the trend of the international market. PEFC certification can win orders from foreign customers or become suppliers of large retail companies, seize the opportunity, occupy a leading position in the market, and develop enterprises rapidly. The management of forest resources and land should meet the social, economic, ecological, cultural and spiritual needs of present and future generations. This view has been widely recognized. Moreover, as the public is increasingly concerned about forest destruction and degradation, CARB certification enables consumers to require that the timber and other forest products they purchase will not only not cause damage to the forest, but also help save future forest resources. In order to meet such requirements, certification and voluntary certification systems for wood products have emerged on the market. FSC is an international organization that recognizes certification bodies to ensure the authenticity of certification bodies. In any case, the certification process is initiated voluntarily by forest owners and operators, and BSCI certified that they only require certification bodies to provide related services. The goal of FSC is to promote global forest management activities that are environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically feasible by formulating standards and related forest management principles that are widely recognized worldwide. As stated in Principle 9 and the related glossary, FSC principles and standards apply to all tropical, temperate and frigid forests. Many principles and standards are also applicable to planted forests and some artificially replanted forests. More detailed standards applicable to various types of forest vegetation can be drafted at the national and regional levels. FSC principles and standards should be incorporated into the audit systems and standards of all certification bodies seeking FSC accreditation. Although the FSC principles and standards are mainly formulated for forest management for the production of wood products, organic certification can also be applied to forest management for the production of non-wood forest products and other services to a large extent. Principles and standards are a whole, there is no distinction between primary and secondary, this document should be used in conjunction with FSC regulations, accreditation procedures and certification body guidelines. FSC and its accredited certification bodies do not necessarily require full compliance with its principles and standards, but if there is a major gap in any principle, it is usually considered as unqualified or the certificate is revoked. This requires an independent certification body to make judgments based on the extent to which each standard is met and the significance of the gap and its consequences, allowing some flexible handling according to local conditions. In all certification audits, the scale and intensity of forest management operations, the uniqueness of affected resources, and the ecological vulnerability of related forests must be considered. The forest management standards of various countries and regions will point out the differences and difficulties in the interpretation of FSC principles and standards. These standards will be formulated with the participation of countries and regions, and certification agencies and other participating and affected parties will conduct certification audits one by one. If necessary, the FSC dispute settlement mechanism also advocates the use of this method during the review process. For more information and guidelines on certification and accreditation procedures, please refer to FSC regulations, accreditation procedures and certification body guidelines.

The use of FSC principles and standards must comply with national and international legal systems. FSC aims to complement, not replace, other initiatives that support responsible forest management around the world.
