01 / Scope
What this document covers.
Chain of custody is what makes a wood or bamboo claim traceable rather than decorative: it records every handler from forest or farm to the article in the container, and the claim is only valid as far as the lowest certified handler.
For each order we name the handler holding the certificate and the licence code, and issue the evidence that travels with the shipment.

What this means for your order.
Plain-language notes on what the document does and does not tell you.
- Ask for the FSC licence code of the supplier handling your order, and check it on the FSC database.
- A mixed supply chain limits what can be claimed, and we will tell you what your specific order supports.

03 / Verification
How to check it independently.
A certificate number is only useful if you can take it to the source. Here is where to take this one.
- 01
Take the number from this page
The number is not published yet. Ask us and we will send the issued copy or the application reference.
- 02
Search the issuing body’s register
The issuing body is SGS Qualifor. Search its public register, or call it, using the number and the company or plant name.
- 03
Confirm the scope, not just the status
Check that the scope on the register matches the scope printed here. A valid certificate for the wrong activity is not cover for your order.
