Chain of Custody is a process that tracks a product from the time it first exists to the moment it reaches the customer. In the case of wood products, the physical form of the product can change from, say, a log in the forest to a pile of veneers to sheet of plywood. A sheet of plywood cannot be visually related back to a forest, so a system is required to track its route to market. This is chain of custody.
These schemes measure several aspects of the forest operation, focusing mostly on Legality and Sustainability. Whichever scheme is used to certify these measurements, the brand of the scheme travels with the wood to demonstrate the certification of the original forest. To carry the brand forward to the subsequent purchaser, each owner of the wood in the supply chain must possess their own Chain of Custody system, certified to the rules of the same organisation whose Standard was used to certify the forest.
