Verification (physical and documentary check) and frequency |
Reconciliation of data |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
The forestry company carries out systematic counts of exploitable trees and marks them with white paint |
|
|
|
The test of correspondence with the management inventory is carried out on closure of the last harvesting site of the Forestry Production Unit (FPU). The FPU is a subdivision of the management plan covering 5 AACs |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Verification of systematic counting
|
The DDEF/Team ensures that the results of the count are accurate by recounting 5 % of the parcels counted |
|
|
|
Test of correspondence of data by comparing the number of trees in the counting phase with those in the recounting phase |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
The forestry company measures each log and marks it using a bar code The bar code number differs from the prospection number |
The bar code will be linked to the following information: AAC No, name of the operator, year of exploitation, AAC area, No of parcels concerned, in particular to allow the correspondence test |
|
|
Test of correspondence of data by comparing the number of trees felled per species category with that stated in the annual harvest licence in step 1 The MAV (m3) is not a relevant indicator in that the annual harvest licence is granted on the basis of an indicative volume established using the volume table |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Sawing and allocation of logs (logs for local plants or for export)
|
The forestry company scans all of the bar codes |
|
|
|
Test of the correspondence of data by comparing tree numbers/bar codes from step 3 (cutting) with tree numbers/bar codes from step 4 (storage) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
The transport company scans all of the bar codes |
|
|
At control stations, verification of transported timber (species and marks) |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
The company notes the volumes and scans all of the bar codes on their arrival at the company’s plant depot It draws up daily production reports The company has to monitor/check stocks of logs and finished products |
|
|
Checking of timber yields on the basis of the daily reports |
Test of correspondence of data by comparing:
Test of correspondence between the following three steps:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Compilation of timber export files: Waybills, Specification sheets, AVEs, EX1 (formerly D6), EX8 (formerly D15), certificate of origin, dispatch note, phytosanitary certificate, shipment note, manifest/bill of lading Pro forma of the commercial invoice, Customs declaration and Delivery note |
The company responsible for exporting scans all of the bar codes The SCPFE verifies correspondence between the statements and the physical checks. In addition, on the basis of the validation of the IGEF, the SCPFE verifies the correspondence of statements with the data recorded in the SIGEF and grants an FLEGT licence |
Bar code number (logs or packages of finished products) |
|
|
Test of correspondence of data by comparing:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Local sale of processed products (planks, beams, rafters and other exposed timber) |
The company keeps accounts of local sales |
Number of packages/package number |
|
|
Test of correspondence of data by comparing production reports from steps 6 (processing) and 8 (local trade) |

The holder of the special permit measures each log, its volume and the marking of a number |
|
|
|
Test of correspondence of data by comparing the number of trees felled per species category with that stated in the marking report |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Performance of timber processing operations
|
The holder of the special permit measures the volume of products obtained |
|
|
|
Test of the correspondence of data by comparing product quantities in terms of trees from step 3 (processing) with the volume of trees from step 2 (cutting) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
The holder of the special permit records any products resulting from the processing of felled trees |
|
|
|
Test of the correspondence of data by comparing product quantities in terms of trees from step 3 (processing) with the number of trees/tree number from step 2 (cutting) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Local sale of processed products (planks, beams, rafters and other exposed timber) |
The holder of the special permit keeps accounts of local sales |
Number of products obtained by category (planks, beams, rafters, boards) |
