Certification SystemsCertification Systems
The current relevant Standards for BC Forestry are:
ISO 14001 – describes the necessary elements of an effective environmental management system (EMS)
CSA Z809(2002) – describes how a sustainable forestry management plan (SFMP) should be developed, implemented, and maintained
SFI – similar in scope and application to CSA Z809, American
FSC - similar in scope and application to CSA Z809, International

ISO 14001 Environmental Management SystemISO 14001 Environmental Management System
ISO 14001 is an international generic standard for environmental management systems (EMS) that can be applied to any industry
Based on a Plan-Do-Check-Act management system:• Plan – how to operate with regard to the environment • Do – procedures to follow while conducting business that
protect the environment / achieve your plan• Check – take the time to review how you do vs. your plan• Act – learn from your performance to do better next time
ISO 14001 certified EMS allows companies to set their own goals for issues of greatest concern
Therefore, ISO 14001 does not necessarily include criteria for sustainable forest management

CSA Z809 Sustainable Forest Management StandardCSA Z809 Sustainable Forest Management Standard
CSA Z809 SFM Standard based on a Canadian definition of sustainable forest management (SFM)
Requires a SFM Plan (SFMP) be in place
Requires a Management System be in place, too
Results in certification of a Designated Forest Area (DFA) (therefore, most CSA certifications require cooperation amongst all but the smallest licencees operating in the DFA)
CSA Standard includes a substantial commitment to involve the public in developing the SFM plan
