FSC® CoC (FSC® N002208)
FSC® CoC Certification ensures that traded or used wood comes from well-managed forests or other controlled sources.
Introduction to FSC® CoC Certification
FSC® CoC Certification ensures the tracking and documentation of wood and non-wood forest products throughout the entire supply chain from the forest to the consumer, ensuring that the products purchased by consumers come from responsibly managed forests. This includes all stages of processing, manufacturing, distribution, and sales. The requirements have become more stringent as environmentally conscious consumers demand wood from well-managed forests.
Through FSC® CoC Certification, anyone in the world can quickly identify the origin and processing of your wood products. This plays an important role in ensuring the traceability of wood from its origin throughout the supply chain.
Advantages of FSC® CoC Certification
1. Promotes the health and diversity of forest ecosystems, protects water sources and soil, and reduces carbon emissions.
2. Supports the development of local communities and improves worker conditions and welfare.
3. Increases the market value of forest products, bringing economic benefits to forest owners and businesses.
How to Obtain Certification
Kaixin Certification has been authorized by GFA Certification GbmH, Germany, to conduct FSC® CoC Certification services in China. GFA Certification GbmH was accredited by FSC® in 2000, becoming the first German company to receive this accreditation. Clients and customers willing to undergo certification needs to complete the application and contract agreement process following which initial or re-certification audits will be carried out. Once the certificate is issued (with a 5 year validity), further surveillance audits will have to be carried out at pre-defined frequencies to maintain the validity of the certificate.
