Project Chain of Custody is a specific form of Chain of Custody certification that allows you to take advantage of PEFC certification for specific projects. This works particularly well for short-term projects involving different, uncertified contractors, such as in the construction or shipbuilding industries, or the one-off production of a specific product.

Project Chain of Custody certification is often the most efficient option for short-term projects involving different, uncertified contractors, such as in the construction or shipbuilding industries, or the one-off production of a specific product. Projects engage a range of different suppliers, all of whom provide products with differing contents of certified material. To make things simple and easy to understand for everyone involved, PEFC Project Chain of Custody certification utilises the simple percentage-based method to account for PEFC certified material used for the project.

Project Chain of Custody is explained more fully in two different brochures: Project Chain of Custody Certification - An Introduction provides an overview of how and when Project Chain of Custody can be used and details the benefits that Project Chain of Custody provides; and the second, PEFC Project Chain of Custody - One Project, One Message explains the more technical aspects of Project Chain of Custody.
