Chain of custody certification

for forest operations, wood industries and traders

Chain of custody (CoC) certification ensures the traceability of certified wood contained in a product. All companies in the processing and trade chain have to be covered by CoC certification in order for the final product to be sold as certified. 

Wood industries, the paper and printing industry, and trade companies increasingly choose CoC certification due to a growing demand for products certified according to standards set up by well-recognized, global certification systems such as FSC and PEFC. Organizations wishing to sell wood or wood products as certified according to these systems need to be covered by a valid chain of custody certificate.

By becoming a part of the certified wood industry community, you support forest management that preserves important forest wildlife and ensures safe, healthy and fair conditions for people working in the forest.

Getting certified

Certification takes place based on independent, third-party certification assessments according to the standards established by the relevant certification system.

NEPCon works with the two most widely recognized, international fores certification systems, FSC and PEFC, and offers all  certification services related to these systems. 

If you already know which type of certification is appropriate for your business, you can simply fill in and submit an application form.
