Elements of the PEFC Label

The standard PEFC logo and label includes a series of components that must be present whenever the label is used. There are also some additional optional elements also to be used.

Obligatory components

1. The PEFC logo consists of two trees surrounded by a circle and the initials “PEFC”; these must always appear together.
2. The PEFC logo is a registered trademark; it must always be accompanied by the TM symbol.
3. The PEFC logo licence number uniquely identifies the logo licence holder and must always be included.

Note: The PEFC logo licence number is NOT the same as the Sustainable Forest Management or Chain of Custody certificate number.

Optional Components

4. Indicator of the percentage of PEFC certified raw material in the product (at least 70%); this is available for the “PEFC certified” label only.
5. The label name.
6. PEFC website.
