With the revision of FSC-STD-40-004 V3-X, CH’s are required to complete a self-assessment of their conformance to FSC core labour requirements (hereinafter: self-assessment) as part of their annual audit.\nFSC-STD-40-004 V3-1 FSC Chain of Custody Certification becomes effective on 01 September 2021. Until 31 December 2022, both version 3-1 and the previous version of the standard will be valid. After 31 December 2022, no new certificates can be issued based on the previous version. All certificates must have transitioned to version 3-1 of the standard by six months after 31 December 2022 or they will become invalid.\nTo test its practicality, this template is published as a beta version. This version may undergo changes during 2021 as we learn from feedback and initial audits. We invite you to send us your opinion and to give us your suggestions via the following online \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=CM8DBln17UijnCxRf69YmYBz0fRmOYlCp83AL8N06kBURDExNklOS1hOMDVVUk9YQ1JGRldVWVI5MC4u\" \u0014form\u0015.\nThe self-assessment is designed to give the FSC CoC CH the ability to efficiently identify and document measures that demonstrate conformance with the FSC Core Labour Requirements.\nThe certification body will use the completed self-assessment to guide the audit and verify conformance with the standard. The process applies the organisation's knowledge of its operations and compliance with applicable laws to assist the auditor in completing the audit.\nCertificate holders and organisations wishing to become certificate holders may use this template or they may create their own to demonstrate compliance with the requirements.  The use of this template does not guarantee conformity with the FSC core labour requirements. It is the responsibility of the organisation to conform with FSC requirements.\nPlease refer to the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://fsc.org/en/document-centre/documents/resource/402\" \u0014FSC UK Controlled Wood National Risk Assessment\u0015 (pages 84-109) to review the UK national regulations most relevant to the FSC core labour requirements. While national laws closely align with the FSC requirements, organisations must still provide practical examples of how the organisation complies with the requirements (e.g. listing\nrelevant laws is not sufficient). Organisations must submit a completed and signed self-assessment to their certification body prior to the scheduled audit. The template was prepared by FSC UK. For further clarification, you can contact FSC UK at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:info@fsc-uk.org\" \u0014info@fsc-uk.org\u0015.\nThe organisation shall declare on the self-assessment that the statements are true and correct to the best available knowledge. The organisation knowingly making false statements on its self-assessment may result in suspension or termination of the certificate.\nThe organisation shall respond to the questions in the self-assessment as completely and truthfully as possible. Organisations shall identify relevant documents and other materials that the auditor can review to verify the referenced statement on the self-assessment.\nVersion History\nFSC Core Labour Requirements Self-Assessment\nAttestation:  I ________________________________, hereby affirm that the following statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and I acknowledge making a knowingly false statement can result in the suspension or termination of the certificate or non-issue of the certificate.\n_________________________________\t\t_____________________________\nName\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDate\nReferenced is the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://fsc.org/en/document-centre/documents/resource/402\" \u0014FSC UK Controlled Wood National Risk Assessment\u0015.
