EU Timber Regulation

Responsible and sustainable forest management has become a vital issue during the past decades. Inadequate and improper forest management practices are threatening the long-term viability of many forests. This reduces their economic potential significantly, resulting in negative social and environmental impacts.

    About the certification

    Since CUC is formally recognised by the EU as a Monitoring Organization (MO), national competent authorities trust our services to a high level. Certification of your Due Diligence System (DDS) against our Timber Legality Verification (TLV) standard assures compliance with the EU TR requirements. Our Due Diligence System Woodtrack allows you to meet all EUTR requirements step by step.

    Why the certification is important

    Public awareness and the demand for certified timber products is growing, and Forest Management Certification gives the necessary reassurance that timber products originating from a forest are managed in a responsible and sustainable way. Forest managers and forest owners who choose to ignore the sustainability issue may face severe consequences. Over-exploitation leads to a serious depletion of natural resources and increased public criticism. That is why more and more managers and owners are looking to Forest Management Certification.

    How you benefit

    The benefits of the EU Timber Regulation certification

    Manufacturers and suppliers who want to guarantee that their timber products originate from a certified forest, and who want to pass this guarantee onto the end user, need to provide proof of the origin. This is accomplished by way of Chain Of Custody Certification.

    Control Union Certifications Germany is an independent certification body that carries out inspections, audits, verifications and awards certificates for the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the PEFC Council (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes), and the EU Timber Regulation (EU TR).

    Control Union has a global network of offices in more than 80 countries. This allows the group to work more efficient and cost effective, whilst upholding the same stringent professional auditing and certification procedures.
