Material & Specification Overview
The table below summarizes FSC certification availability across our product range. Certification availability varies by specific profile and production batch, so please confirm current certificate status for your exact order before finalizing a specification that depends on it.
| Item | Detail |
| Certification Scope | FSC chain of custody for the wood fiber component of the composite formulation |
| Available Product Lines | Standard PE composite, bamboo fiber composite, and select capped composite profiles using wood fiber |
| Certificate Documentation | FSC chain of custody certificate available on request, specific to the production facility and certified material batch |
| Standard Thickness and Width Ranges | Follows the standard dimensions of the underlying certified profile selected |
| Not Covered by FSC | The plastic polymer component of the formulation, which is a separate material not within the scope of forest certification |
Product Photography
We provide standard product photography for FSC-available profiles alongside our full range, and can share a copy of our current FSC chain of custody certificate for review by your project team or certifying body before an order is placed.
A note on certificate timing: chain of custody certification is tied to the production batch and facility certificate status at time of manufacture, so please confirm current certificate validity at the time of your order rather than relying on a certificate shared for an earlier, unrelated purchase.
We can also explain how chain of custody tracking works in practice at our facility, from receiving certified raw fiber through to labeling finished product batches, which some architects and sustainability consultants find useful background when explaining the certification process to a client who is unfamiliar with how forest product certification systems actually function in a manufacturing context.
Minimum Order Quantity & Pricing Structure
Pricing for FSC-certified profiles generally follows the pricing of the underlying standard product, since certification is a sourcing and documentation matter rather than a change to the physical product itself. MOQ for a first trial order is typically 1 x 20ft container, and we can confirm FSC availability for your specific profile and quantity before you finalize a specification that depends on it.
| Order Volume | Pricing Tier |
| Sample boards with certificate copy | Sample fee + courier, often credited toward the first order |
| 1 x 20ft container | Standard FOB pricing for the underlying certified profile |
| 1 x 40ft HQ container | Discounted per-sqm pricing |
| Project and developer volumes | Negotiated pricing with repeat-order scheduling |
Quotations are typically given as FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, with CIF and DDP available once the destination and Incoterm are confirmed. Standard payment terms are 30% deposit by T/T with the balance against the B/L copy. We recommend confirming your project's exact certification requirement, such as which specific green building credit applies, before ordering, since some credits require specific percentage thresholds of certified content that we can confirm against our documentation.
For green building projects seeking certification credit, we can issue the chain of custody documentation referencing your specific purchase order, which your certification reviewer may require.
For projects where FSC certification is a hard requirement rather than a preference, we strongly recommend confirming written certificate validity before any deposit is paid, since the consequence of discovering a gap after production has begun is considerably more disruptive than confirming this detail during the initial quotation conversation.
OEM & Customization Options
Because certification applies to a sourcing chain rather than a physical product feature, customization for this line follows our standard color and profile options, with certification confirmed separately for your chosen specification.
- Color and profile selection - standard color card and profile range, confirmed for FSC availability at time of order
- Documentation formatting - certificate copies and sourcing statements formatted for inclusion in a green building submission or tender document
- Combined environmental documentation - FSC certification referenced alongside other relevant documents such as recycled content statements, where both apply to the same order
- Project-specific certificate references - documentation referencing your specific purchase order for green building credit submission
- Private label packaging - distributor branding alongside the standard FSC documentation package
For architects specifying FSC-certified material as part of a broader sustainability strategy, we can also discuss which of our other product lines, such as recycled plastic composite, might combine with FSC-certified fiber sourcing in the same order to support multiple sustainability credits within one project.
Supporting Multi-Credit Sustainability Strategies
Many green building projects pursue several sustainability credits simultaneously rather than relying on a single certification, and FSC-sourced fiber content is often just one component of a broader material strategy that might also include recycled content, low-emission formulations, and regional sourcing considerations. We are glad to discuss how our FSC-certified lines fit into this broader picture alongside our other environmentally relevant product lines, and can help identify which combination of our products might support the specific combination of credits your project is pursuing under whichever rating system applies.
Certification & Quality Control
Because FSC certification is itself a documentation and traceability system, our quality process for this line focuses heavily on maintaining accurate chain of custody records alongside our standard material quality checks.
| Certification / Test | Availability |
| FSC Chain of Custody certificate | Available on request, specific to the production facility and current certification period |
| REACH / RoHS compliance | Standard formulation compliant |
| Standard material test reports | Available per profile (SGS/BV/Intertek), same as our non-certified equivalent products |
| Factory quality system | ISO 9001 factory management system |
Our internal process tracks certified fiber input separately from non-certified material to maintain accurate chain of custody records, and we can provide batch-specific documentation linking your order to the relevant certified material input. We are careful never to imply FSC certification where it does not actually apply to a specific batch or profile, since misrepresenting certification status could jeopardize both your project's own certification claims and our facility's certified status.
If your certifying body has specific documentation requirements beyond our standard certificate, please tell us early so we can confirm what additional information we can provide.
What Happens If Certified Fiber Supply Is Interrupted
Certified forestry supply chains can occasionally experience temporary interruptions due to factors outside any single supplier's control, such as regional forestry conditions or certification body administrative delays. If this affects a specific order, we will tell you honestly and promptly rather than quietly substituting non-certified material, since doing so without disclosure would undermine the very documentation your project is relying on, and we consider this kind of transparency essential to maintaining trust in the certification we offer.
Production Capacity & Lead Time
FSC-certified material is produced on the same lines as our standard composite products, with certified fiber sourced and tracked separately to maintain chain of custody integrity.
| Item | Detail |
| Monthly capacity | Follows the capacity of the underlying certified profile's standard production line |
| Sample lead time | 5-8 working days for existing certified profiles |
| Standard order lead time | 20-30 days after deposit and specification confirmation |
| Certificate documentation lead time | Typically provided alongside standard shipping documents, with no significant additional delay |
| Certified fiber availability note | Certified fiber supply can occasionally fluctuate with sourcing market conditions; we will flag any impact on lead time at quotation stage |
We provide production progress updates and can share a copy of the relevant chain of custody documentation once your order is confirmed. If your project's certification timeline requires documentation by a specific date, please tell us early so we can confirm realistic feasibility.
For projects with a hard certification submission deadline, we recommend requesting documentation confirmation before placing your final order, rather than after goods have shipped.
If your project's green building submission has a fixed documentation deadline tied to a broader construction schedule, please share this date clearly at the outset, since we would rather flag a potential timing conflict early than have your certification submission held up by a late-arriving document.
We also recommend building a reasonable buffer into your project schedule for certificate documentation, even though we do not expect a significant delay for already-certified standard profiles, simply because unexpected administrative delays occasionally arise on the certification body's side rather than our own production process.
Logistics & After-Sales Support
FSC-certified orders follow our standard shipping process, with chain of custody documentation provided alongside the usual shipping paperwork.
- Shipping ports - orders typically go out via Ningbo or Shanghai port; FOB, CIF, or DDP quoting available
- Packing - standard packing for the underlying certified profile, following our usual protective practices
- Documentation - commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and FSC chain of custody documentation provided as standard
- Damage/shortage claims - please photograph any damage at unloading; verified defects are resolved through replacement stock or credit on the next order
- Certification support - documentation formatted to support your project's green building credit submission process
We recommend retaining FSC documentation with your project's permanent records, since a certifying body or auditor may request it again during a project review long after the materials have been installed and the original order details may be harder to locate.
We also recommend that project teams working across several consultants, such as a separate sustainability consultant and a general contractor, ensure that whichever party actually needs the FSC documentation is the one who receives it directly from us, since documentation passed through several intermediaries occasionally gets lost or delayed before reaching the party who actually needs to submit it.
Our export team remains available by phone or WhatsApp throughout shipping and unloading to help resolve any documentation questions your import team or certifying body representative might raise during the shipment process, including follow-up requests that arise after the goods have already cleared customs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does FSC certification cover the entire composite board, including the plastic?
A: No, FSC certification applies specifically to the wood fiber component's chain of custody; the plastic polymer component is a separate material not within the scope of forest certification.
Q: Can you provide documentation for a LEED or BREEAM submission?
A: Yes, we can provide our chain of custody certificate and project-specific documentation formatted to support a green building credit submission; please confirm which specific credit applies so we can tailor the documentation.
Q: Is FSC-certified material more expensive than standard composite?
A: Pricing generally follows the underlying standard product, since certification is primarily a sourcing and documentation matter rather than a change to the physical product.
Q: Is FSC certification available for all your product lines?
A: Availability varies by specific profile and depends on current certified fiber supply; please confirm availability for your exact specification before finalizing an order that depends on it.
Q: How do I verify your FSC certificate is current?
A: We can share a copy of our current chain of custody certificate, and recommend confirming validity directly at time of order rather than relying on a certificate from an earlier purchase.
Q: Will the FSC logo appear directly on the product itself?
A: This depends on the specific certification arrangement and product line; please ask us directly about physical marking requirements for your specific order if this matters for your project.
Q: Can you provide FSC documentation after the goods have already shipped?
A: We strongly recommend requesting and confirming all certification documentation before shipment, since arranging it retroactively can be considerably more difficult and is not always possible.
