3.2 Evaluation of Management System
3.2.1 Methodology and Strategies Employed
SCS deploys interdisciplinary teams with expertise in forestry, social sciences, natural resource
economics, and other relevant fields to assess an FME’s conformance to FSC standards and policies.
Evaluation methods include document and record review, implementing sampling strategies to visit a
broad number of forest cover and harvest prescription types, observation of implementation of
management plans and policies in the field, and stakeholder analysis. When there is more than one
team member, team members may review parts of the standards based on their background and
expertise. On the final day of an evaluation, team members convene to deliberate the findings of the
assessment jointly. This involves an analysis of all relevant field observations, stakeholder comments,
and reviewed documents and records. Where consensus between team members cannot be achieved
due to lack of evidence, conflicting evidence or differences of interpretation of the standards, the team
is instructed to report these in the certification decision section and/or in observations.
