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.
Participate in the Consultation
The public consultation is open from 15 November 2025 to 25 January 2026, in order to seek feedback from interested stakeholders on the draft revised Standards. For guidance on how to participate in the consultation and provide your feedback, please see the ‘How to Participate in a Consultation’ handout.
