Summary

The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, or PEFC, is a global alliance for forest certification. It endorses national forest certification systems and provides chain-of-custody standards for forest and tree-based products. PEFC technical documentation states that national forest management standards must meet PEFC requirements for endorsement and identifies PEFC ST 2002:2020 as the chain-of-custody standard.
