FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification tracks FSC-certified material through the supply chain, so a finished product can carry a credible FSC claim. ISA Next-Gen Materials’ TransAsia TanTec certificate covers one product group, which includes viscose (FSC product category P1 Pulp - P1.7 Dissolving pulp - P1.7.4 Rayon and other synthetic fibres), held as a secondary processor under FSC Mix and FSC 100% claims, per standard FSC-STD-40-004.

For brands building materials with responsibly sourced forest-derived fibre, the FSC Chain of Custody provides independent assurance of traceability from a certified source.
