Certification Bodies

FSC sets the standards for Forest Management (FM) and Chain of Custody (CoC) certifications. FSC Certification Bodies (CB) – third party organisations – carry out the FM and CoC assessments that lead to FSC certification. Certification bodies are required to gain FSC accreditation before being allowed to conduct assessments. They must comply with rules and procedures verified by the Assurance Services International (ASI).

FSC is the only global forest certification system to have an integrated accreditation programme that systematically checks its certification bodies.

Assurance Services International (ASI) is responsible for checking certification body compliance with our rules and procedures through a combination of field and office audits. All FSC accredited certification bodies must meet the FSC accreditation requirements.

In the same way that certification bodies carry out annual checks on holders of FSC Forest Management and Chain of Custody certificates, ASI carries out annual checks on the certification bodies, through office and field audits.

Certification Body Accreditation: An organisation who wishes to become an FSC-accredited certification body, must conform with FSC-STD-20-001 (General Requirements for FSC accredited certification bodies).
