What is verification and certification?
View our interactive model and learn more about verification and certification
Verification
Verification is your guarantee that the wood you buy comes from a legally harvested forest and is exported with all legal documents. Verification does not necessarily ensure sustainability or responsible forest management.
Certification
Certification is your guarantee that the wood you buy comes from a sustainable managed forest where the biodiversity and wildlife is protected. The certification also guarantees that the rights of forest workers, local communities and indigenous people are safeguarded. The best known international certification standards are FSC and PEFC.
Both verification and certification are supported by specific standards that must be complied with to obtain verification and certification.
