Annual Audit
The CoC certificate is issued for a period of five years. However, each year it will be checked whether the company still complies with the requirements and conditions and whether it implemented the conditions within the stipulated time period. There are totally 4 annual inspections before a new application must be done.
During the annual inspections, the correct use of the logo will be specifically checked. A product may only have the (FSC) logo if the base materials come from a certified source.
The certifier visits the company for each annual audits.
