The German Federal Government supports the certification of sustainably managed forests and will continue to use only wood from certified stands in its procurement measures: Wood products procured by the federal administration must demonstrably come from legal and sustainable forest management. The bidder must furnish proof of this by presenting a certificate of FSC or PEFC, a comparable certificate or by producing individual specifications. Comparable certificates or individual specifications are accepted if the bidder can prove that the criteria of FSC or PEFC that apply to the respective country of origin have been met.
