The PEFC Chain of Custody of Forest and Tree Based Products scheme sets out the requirements for organizations to implement a chain of custody for forest and tree-based products. It enables organizations to make PEFC claims regarding the origin of materials sourced from sustainably managed forests, recycled materials and PEFC controlled sources. The standard outlines methods for tracking material through the supply chain, including physical separation, percentage-based and credit-based approaches. It also includes management system requirements related to the chain of custody process, covering aspects such as health, safety and labour.
