MSC Chain of Custody Standard
Certificate Description
The MSC Chain of Custody Standard ensures that products from MSC certified sustainable fisheries are traceable and separated from non-certified products.
There are five key principles that every company must meet to achieve certification: companies must purchase certified product from a certified supplier, certified products are clearly identifiable, Certified products are separated from non-certified, certified products are traceable and volumes are recorded, companies have a management system that addresses the requirements of the Standard.
The standard is developed by the Marine Stewardship Council, an independent non-profit organization which sets a standard for sustainable fishing.
