PEFC Council

Annex 4: Chain of Custody of Forest Based Products - Requirements

The text of this standard has been developed by the Chain of Custody and Labelling Working Group of the PEFC Council and was officially adopted by the PEFC Council General Assembly on 29 October 2004 and amended on 17 June 2005.

On 27 October 2006, Appendix 1 and Appendix 6 have been amended and new Appendix 7 and Appendix 8 added to Annex 4.

Appendix 1 to Annex 4 (27 October 2006): PEFC Council specification for the origin for the purposes of PEFC label and declarations
Appendix 6 to Annex 4 (27 October 2006): Specification of the origin for the purposes of PEFC label and declarations covering recycled raw material
Appendix 7 to Annex 4 (27 October 2006): Implementation of requirements for the avoidance of the procurement of raw material from controversial sources
Appendix 8 to Annex 4 (27 October 2006): PEFC Council specification for the origin for the purposes of PEFC label and declarations for non wood forest products

On 5 October 2007, Amendment No. 1 has been added to Annex 4.

This standard can be endorsed and utilised by any forest certification or labelling scheme which includes chain of custody rules for the purposes of using declarations and/or labels referring to the origin of the raw material included in the forest based products.

The objectives of the chain of custody is to create an information link between the raw material included in a forest based product and the origin of that raw material.

Project chain of custody

PEFC UK Ltd in co-operation with the PEFC Council has developed a Guidance document on the implementation of the requirements of Annex 4 of the PEFC Council Technical Document (Chain of Custody of Forest Based Products - Requirements) covering any specifically defined project (e.g. building) where PEFC certified or recycled raw material is used.
