A company wants to buy and/or sell FSC Controlled Wood• Company shall comply with the purchase and sales

8. District of Origin

NB! The requirement to confirm district of origin makes implementation of a verification program practically unrealistic to meet CW for secondary manufacturers and companies further downstream:

•Proof of origin is usually not possible;

•Assurances needed for supply chain systems

FMU field audit samplingFMU field audit sampling::

Identify the total number of FMUs.Classify FMUs into sets of similar units for audit sampling: forest type, location (district), size of operation.

Apply sampling equation to each set of FMUs.

Select the FMUs for auditing randomly.

Conduct annual FMU audits in each set:

x = 0.8√y

x = 0.6√y (SLIMF)

E.g., district includes 136 FMUs, audit sample:

xx = 0.8(√136) = 0.8X11.66 = 9.33 = 1010NB! Company shall conduct field audits based on sampling BEFORE CB approval of

the sources for use as controlled inputs

When is it low risk?

A district can be classified as low risk if:Evidence of enforcing logging related laws, andThere is a robust system for harvesting licenses, andNo (or limited) reports on illegal logging, andLow level of corruptions related to harvesting permits and law enforcement.

Intention

An area can be considered as low risk when illegal harvesting is not a threat tothe forest, people and communities. A district can still be classified as low risk incase of only minor issues such as minor violation from the area of harvesting,filing of paperwork late or small violation related to transport.
