Update on Status of Revision Process 

FSC is in the process of updating and streamlining the Chain of Custody (CoC) requirements (and the corresponding accreditation standard for certification bodies).  

We have now developed two draft revised Standards which reflect feedback previously collected through the conceptual phase consultation and working group meetings.  

For more information on the purpose of the revision and the history of this process, please visit the process page and the revision page

Upcoming Consultation, and supporting webinars 

A public consultation will be open 15 November 2025 to 25 January 2026, in order to seek feedback from interested stakeholders on the draft revised Standards. 

To participate in the consultation, please visit the FSC Consultation Platform

FSC will conduct two webinars for stakeholders to learn more about the draft revised Standards, and how they can participate in the consultation.
