FAQ

FSC CoC Certification: Frequently Asked Questions

What is FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification?
FSC Chain of Custody certification verifies that FSC-certified material is identified and kept separate from non-certified material at every stage, from purchase through processing to sale. It allows your company to sell products with FSC claims and use the FSC label.
How long does FSC CoC certification take in India?
Most single-site companies are audit-ready in 3 to 6 weeks. The certificate is usually issued shortly after a successful audit, depending on the certification body's review. Multi-site companies may take longer.
How much does FSC CoC certification cost in India?
Cost depends on the number of sites, employees, product groups, the control system used and whether you combine FSC with PEFC. Share your details and we'll send an itemised estimate within 24 hours.
My supplier is FSC certified. Do I still need FSC certification?
Yes, in most cases. Every company that takes legal ownership of FSC material and wants to sell it with an FSC claim needs its own Chain of Custody certificate. Without it, the FSC claim stops at your supplier.
Who issues the FSC certificate?
FSC certificates are issued by independent certification bodies accredited by Assurance Services International (ASI). We prepare your company for the audit and coordinate the process with an accredited certification body on your behalf.
What happens after I get certified?
FSC CoC certificates are valid for five years, with annual surveillance audits to confirm you continue to meet the requirements. We support you through each surveillance audit, scope change and renewal.
Can I get FSC and PEFC certification together?
Yes. Many companies combine FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody in one management system and one audit, which reduces paperwork and audit days.
How do I verify an FSC certificate?
Search the company name or licence code on the public FSC database at search.fsc.org to check whether a certificate is valid and which products it covers.
