Helping primary processors manage and communicate PEFC claims for eligible forest and tree-based materials through the supply chain.
Primary processors transform logs and other forest-based raw materials into products used in construction, joinery, fencing and landscaping, including sawn timber, panels, veneers and co-products.
PEFC Chain of Custody certification provides a framework for identifying eligible inputs, maintaining appropriate records and passing PEFC claims to customers in accordance with PEFC requirements.
Why choose PEFC?
- Meet customer requirements. PEFC Chain of Custody certification enables you to manage and communicate PEFC claims for eligible products.
- Support access to specified projects. Certification can help you meet procurement requirements where PEFC-certified material or recognised Chain of Custody certification is specified.
- Communicate your certification. Subject to PEFC trademark requirements, certified organisations can communicate their certified status and use PEFC claims for eligible products.
What can be included?
Products that may be included within the scope of a primary processor’s Chain of Custody system include:
- Logs and roundwood
- Sawn timber and planks
- Veneer and engineered wood products
- Woodchips, residues and co-products
PEFC Chain of Custody certification enables organisations to demonstrate that eligible forest and tree-based materials are supplied with PEFC claims and handled in accordance with PEFC Chain of Custody requirements.
