Third party, chain of custody certification is the best way to substantiate green product claims and establish credibility. The fee for Individual certificates acquired directly from certification bodies range from $3500.00 to $5000.00 annually. WoodNet Market Council offers small businesses an opportunity to access third party chain of custody certification through participation in a flexible network that administers one chain of custody certificate.  Participation in the network  provides small business (under $5,000,000.00/yr in gross sales revenue) with an affordable option to individual certification.

WoodNet Market Council is not an "accredited certification body".  WoodNet Market Council serves as the certificate manager, and, as such can help your company develop the required documented control procedures necessary to comply with chain of custody standards and to prepare for evaluation and annual surveillance audits. 

Assessed annually, membership fees are based on three components: (1) evaluation and surveillance fees paid to the accredited certification body; (2) travel and management expenses; and finally, (3) accreditation administration fees collected by the accredited certification bodies on behalf of standards and accreditation organizations.
