There are two types of FSC certificates available from certification bodies:

•Forest Management (FM) Certificate
（森林管理认证) Forest management certification involves an inspection of the forest management unit by an independent FSC-accredited certification body to check that the forest complies with the internationally-agreed FSC Principles of Responsible Forest Management.

•通过授权的第三方认证，证明森林管理单位是符合FSC关于森林管理原则与要求的

•If the forest complies with FSC standards, then the FSC accredited certification body issues a certificate for the operation. Certified forest operations can claim the forest products they produce come from a responsibly managed forest.

•获得FM认证的森林管理者(开发商)可以宣称产品是来自于合理管理的森林

•Before a certified forest operation can sell their products as FSC certified, they must also obtain chain of custody certification (FM/COC).

•当一个获得FM认证的森林在销售FSC认证的森林之前，其必须获得COC认证

•Chain of Custody (COC) Certificate
（供应商链管理认证)Chain of custody certification provides a guarantee about the production of FSC-certified products. Chain-of-custodý is the path taken by raw materials from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution.

•COC认证向符合FSC认证的产品提供了一个保证,供应链认证是包含从森林原料到消费者(包含森林资源加工，运输,制造与分销）

•From a customer perspective, the FSC label represents a promise that is being made to them. Chain of custody standards are the mechanism FSC has to ensure that 'promise' is delivered.

•从消费者的关点而言，FSC标记是一个种承诺，标明某一产品从原料到加工都是符合FSC要求的

•Operations that have been independently verified for FSC chain of custody certification are eligible to label their products with the FSC logo.

通过FSC COC认证的业主，将被允许在他门的产品上贴上FSC的标签.
