Forest Management Certification (FMC) works for a measure to evaluate process of SFM in detail. As of 2008, about 121 thousand ha of national forests were certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. In order to facilitate FMC, national forests are being certified initially. The Fifth National Forest Plan (2008-2017) currently in effect aims to extend certified area up to 300 thousand ha by the year of 2017, and plans to develop a national certification system that can be internationally accredited as well.
