What is the role of certification bodies?

While FSC sets the policies and standards to promote responsible forest management, it does not issue certificates itself. They are instead issued by independent third-party certification bodies (CB).

Depending on the scope of the certification (forest management or chain of custody), a CB will check the applicant's compliance with the requirements set in one or more applicable FSC normative document during a process called an audit.

Upon a positive certification decision, CB will issue an FSC certificate to the applicant. An audit is performed annually, in order to maintain a certification.
