Standard introduction webinar

As an auditor, reviewer, or certification decision maker, the newly released second edition of the PEFC Chain of Custody guidance document is your new reference for all your chain of custody explanations and clarifications. In this upcoming session, PEFC UK will introduce you to the changes in the updated document and the implications for you.

Since its first publication in 2022, the PEFC Chain of Custody guidance document (GD 2001) has provided PEFC chain of custody certified companies, certification bodies, and other key stakeholders with explanations and clarifications to the PEFC Chain of Custody related standards. The updated document provides further additional and/or amended clarification on several requirements.
