The Chain-of-Custody (COC) and how much is...
| The chain-of-custody refers to the chain of ''owners'' of a given wood product as it is sold from forest to mill to manufacturer to distributor. An FSC chain-of-custody certificate licenses a company to buy and sell FSC products. To receive a certificate, a company undergoes an audit by an accredited FSC certifier and demonstrates the ability to accurately 'track' the FSC products through its operation, and ensure that certified products never get mixed with non-certified products. The cost of a certificate audit varies widely depending on the size of the company, complexity of their process, etc. |
