How to carry out fsc forest certification:
1. Contact one or more fsc-recognized certification agencies. The certification body will ask for some basic information about your company (enterprise) in order to make a preliminary assessment of your company. At the same time, the certification body will provide you with information about fsc certification requirements.
2. Contact multiple certification agencies, select a certification agency that is reliable and can cooperate with you and sign an agreement with it.
3. Conduct certification audits to evaluate your company’s certification qualifications.
4. The data collected during the audit process is the basis of the audit report, and the certification body makes certification decisions based on this report.
5. If the certification decision is positive, you will receive an fsc certificate. If the audit shows that your organization has not fully met the requirements of the FSC, the certification body will conduct a further audit of your company after completing the recommended modifications to the certification report.

In 1993, the first FSC forest management certificate (Mexico) and the first chain of custody certificate (United States) were issued.
In February 1996, FSC was registered in Mexico as a legal entity. For the first time, contracts for the recognition of four forest management certificates were signed. The first certified and labeled product - the wooden shovel is launched (sold in the UK). The first FSC Working Group (UK) is endorsed by the FSC Board of Directors. FSC members approved Standard 10 for plantations.
In January 2003, the FSC Secretariat moved to the FSC International Center in Bonn, Germany, with 25 employees.
