The CoC includes each stage of sourcing, processing, trading, and distribution where progress to the next stage of the supply chain involves a change of product ownership.  \nAny change of ownership in the supply chain of FSC-certified products requires the establishment of effective CoC management systems at the level of the respective organization and their verification by an independent FSC-accredited certification body, if the organization wants to make an FSC claim about their products.  \nFSC certification of such management systems is designed to provide a credible assurance that products which are sold with an FSC claim originate from well-managed forests, controlled sources, reclaimed materials, or a mixture of these. FSC CoC certification thereby facilitates the transparent flow of goods made from such materials through the supply chain.  \nVersion History  \nV1-0 In September 2004, the FSC Board of Directors endorsed the initial version of “FSC-STD-40-004 V1-0: FSC CoC standard for companies supplying and manufacturing FSC-certified products”.  \nV2-0 This major review of the standard introduced new concepts in CoC, such as product groups and the credit system. It took into account the various recommendations from the three technical working group meetings held between October 2005 and February 2007, as well as stakeholder  \ninputs obtained on the various public drafts and on the FSC discussion paper “FSC-DIS-01-013: Review and revision of the FSC CoC standard”. The V2-0 was approved by the FSC Board of Directors at their 46th meeting, November 2007.  \nV2-1 This minor standard review introduced new requirements into the FSC CoC regarding the certificate holder’s commitment to FSC values and occupational health and safety. This document version was approved by the FSC Policy Director on 01st October 2011.  \nV3-0 This major review of the standard took into account five motions from the FSC General Assembly 2011 (Motions 38, 43, 44, 45, and 46), as well as studies commissioned by FSC International on cross-site credits methodology, supply chain integrity, and options for best valuing pre-consumer reclaimed materials in the FSC system.
