The main tasks of FSC are to evaluate, authorize and supervise certification bodies, to provide guidance and services for the establishment of national and regional certification standards, and to improve the capacity of national forest certification and sustainable forest management through education, training and demonstration activities.
FSC has established a global network, including the FSC International Center, the national initiative and the regional office.
FSC itself does not directly authenticate the forest, it is a standard setting institution and an accredited institution. It has established the global unified "FSC principles and standards" and accredited the certification bodies. By January 2006, FSC approved 15 certification bodies. The certified enterprise has the right to use the FSC logo.
Online support for FSC public certificate databases, trademark packages, and label tools
FSC has nearly 15000 certificate holders all over the world. It supports companies that invest in the FSC system with the appropriate tools and resources of the market. In our efforts to improve the quality of service for certificate holders, FSC has developed two new web pages, which aims to provide useful information for users of FSC public certificate database (fsc-info), including the online trademark package and tagging tools used by certificate holders.
The common interface of the certificate database provides a "Help" button, which is linked to a web page that provides the most common question answer. More online support can be found in the certificate holder's resource center. Here, in addition to common problems, certificate holders can also find news and updates related to certificate databases, online trademark packages, and label tools.
These pages will help certificates holders save time in the use of online trademark packages and labeling tools, and enhance timely communication with FSC certificate database related technical problems. The database is managed by the FSC global development department, which is responsible for trademark support, brand management and market development.
