Chain of Custody Certification
Chain of Custody certification is designed to help organisations prove traceability of certified material as it flows through all points of the supply chain. It is not dependent, nor limited to organisations that are already holding certification to other schemes and it is available regardless of organisation size. There are different Chain of Custody certification schemes, according to the type of material that you are tracing.
Chain of Custody certification of your timber materials provides independently verified assurance that the wood used originates from responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources that the material has been tracked through every stage of the process, from forest to end-user.
