Chain of Custody certification (C-o-C): applies to all the changes in the custodianship of forest products from forest to end use. C-o-C certification verifies content of wood from certified forests used in the product production.
C-o-C certification cannot be implemented for the whole chain but is applied separately in each single company (“link of the chain”) Seminar on Strategies for the Sound Use of Wood
