Certification bodies
FSC certification is carried out through independent, third-party assessments conducted by accredited certification bodies. These bodies evaluate organisations against FSC’s rigorous standards to verify that forest management and supply chain practices meet FSC requirements.
Below you will find the certification bodies authorised to conduct FSC Forest Management (FM) and/or Chain of Custody (CoC) certification audits and the services they have in scope for Australia and New Zealand.
