CHAIN OF CUSTODY

Management System

Records should be kept that show you are following the FSC Regulatory Module.

If there is new information or concerns that suggest there might be a problem/risk with products following the FSC Regulatory Module, this has to be considered in the evaluation and treated as a formal complaint as as per Clause 1.7 of FSC-STD-40-004.

Non-conforming products are not to be put on the market. If non-conforming products are found the relevant competent authorities are immediately informed and the necessary assistance is provided. Competent authorities are also informed of any suspension from the Regulatory Module.

NOTE: A non-conforming product may also be identified by a competent authority.
