FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) Chain of Custody certification proves that wood, paper or wood products come from responsibly managed forests. For Romanian companies — logging, sawmills, processing, furniture, paper, packaging, trading — FSC certification opens international markets and ensures compliance with requirements from clients like IKEA, Decathlon, Carrefour and others. FSC is recognized in over 80 countries and is the gold standard for wood traceability.
The reference standard is FSC-STD-40-004 (Chain of Custody). The certificate is valid for 5 years with annual surveillance audits. In Romania, FSC certification integrates directly with the SUMAL system for end-to-end traceability — from forest to finished product.

See cost calculator →Frequently Asked Questions about FSC Certification
How long does the FSC certification audit take?
The external audit takes 1-3 days depending on company complexity. Internal preparation takes 2-4 weeks — during this time you complete documentation, train staff and pass our internal pre-evaluation audit.
What documents are needed for FSC certification?
Commercial documents (input/output invoices, contracts with FSC-certified suppliers), material identification procedures, material movement register, staff training records, FSC declarations on output invoices. We provide all framework procedures — you adapt them to your company's concrete operations.
How does FSC certification integrate with SUMAL?
SUMAL is Romania's national wood traceability system. FSC certification adds an independent verification layer on top of SUMAL for international markets that don't recognize SUMAL as such. In practice, your SUMAL data feeds directly into the FSC input/output register.
What is the difference between FSC and PEFC?
Both are international chain-of-custody certification systems. FSC is preferred by Western European buyers (IKEA, Decathlon, B&Q). PEFC is preferred by buyers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland. Many companies choose dual certification to access both markets.
How can FSC certification be lost?
Certification can be suspended or withdrawn if annual surveillance audits fail, if major documentation irregularities appear, or if the company sells non-certified products with an FSC claim. With our preventive internal audit system, the risk of loss is minimal — any issue is caught before the official audit.
Can my company get FSC certified if it is small?
Yes. Small and medium companies (5-50 employees) are exactly the profile we're optimized for. The process is adapted to company size and costs are accessible for SMEs. See our dedicated SME page or request a personalized quote.
