Farms and companies that meet ASC’s farm or Chain of Custody standard are eligible to become certified. Independent Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) assess if they comply with the standards.
CABs can (temporarily) suspend or (permanently) withdraw a Farm or Chain of Custody certificate if it is determined that a certified entity no longer adheres to the applicable standard(s).
A similar principle applies to companies that have signed an ASC logo licensing agreement. If it is determined that a company does not adhere to the logo licensing terms and conditions, the agreement can be suspended or terminated.
