Update: FSC on process flaws at Quality Austria and on Holzindustrie Schweighofer
FSC declares auditing process at certification body Quality Austria to be insufficient
Holzindustrie Schweighofer’s FSC Multi Site certificate has been temporarily suspended by the certification body Quality Austria. The reasons for this move were not known so far. Now FSC informed in a press release that procedural defects at Quality Austria led to this decision. As a result Quality Austria temporarily suspended Holzindustrie Schweighofer’s FSC certificate.
FSC certificate is a voluntary measure and there is no legal obligation at all have it. In the above mentioned context, Holzindustrie Schweighofer can perform business activities to the full extent.
