Cotecna Launches Wood Chips Inspection Brochure
Cotecna, a global provider of testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) services, has released a new brochure detailing its specialized wood chips inspection services, reinforcing its role in supporting international trade within the forestry and pulp sectors.
The brochure outlines our complete service offering for wood chip exports, which includes vessel condition & container surveys, draft surveys, cargo sampling, and laboratory analysis for critical quality indicators such as moisture content, size distribution, bark, and rot. These services are essential for ensuring that wood chips meet the specifications required for pulping processes, where chip uniformity and integrity are key to operational efficiency.
Our processes adhere to international quality and safety standards, including TAPPI UM21 and SCAN CM39–40. The company also maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17020:2012 certifications and holds GAFTA approval for fumigation.
By maintaining strict safety protocols and offering repeatable, standards-aligned analysis, we help ensure that shipments are compliant, traceable, and ready for export — particularly to high-demand markets such as China.
The release of the brochure reflects our ongoing effort to improve transparency and accessibility around its specialized inspection capabilities, while reinforcing its position as a trusted TIC partner for the agricultural and forestry sectors.
