description Forest certification is an economic instrument based on the market which has as objective to promote the sustainable forest management by means of the access to the market as well as an increase in the price of the wood what will allow to cover the costs of the good forest management. In this work it is analyzed the impact and the effectiveness that forest certification has had on the social, economic and environmental dimensions on which is based and its contribution to the sustainable forest management, analyzing  its costs and behavior of the market of certified wood. It was concluded that the certification costs are high for small producers and companies in developing countries. The market of certified wood is marginal, demand and offer are limited, the increase in the price is uncertain and far from clear, it does not contribute to the socioeconomic development of communities located in forests degraded with tree species of low commercial value with poverty, degradation and deforestation being still present in those areas. Forest certification considers the wood as the only product obtained from the forest with market value, non-wood forest products along with environmental goods and services are not considered as commercially valuables due to the lack of standards applicable to these, underestimating the actual value of the forests. These limitations carry the risk discouraging the forest management and inducing the illegal logging, and changing the use of forest land. Forest certification contributes partially to the sustainable forest management and it is, only considered as an alternative tool, which is still being developed.

Mediante el análisis de los costos por certificación y comportamiento del mercado de la madera certificada, en este trabajo se determina la efectividad que la certificación forestal ha tenido sobre las dimensiones social, económica y ambiental así como su contribución al manejo forestal sustentable. Se concluyó que los costos de certificación son altos para pequeños productores y empresas de países en desarrollo. El mercado de la madera certificada es marginal, su demanda y oferta limitadas y el sobreprecio incierto, no contribuyendo al desarrollo socioeconómico de comunidades situadas en bosques degradados con especies de bajo valor comercial, por lo que la pobreza, degradación y deforestación en esas zonas continúa presente. La certificación forestal sólo considera a la madera como producto único del bosque con valor en el mercado; los productos forestales no maderables y los bienes y servicios ambientales no son considerados puesto que se carece de estándares aplicables a éstos, subestimándose el valor real de los bosques. Estas limitaciones llevan el riesgo de desmotivar el manejo forestal, inducir al aprovechamiento ilegal y a cambios de uso del suelo. La certificación forestal sólo contribuye parcialmente al manejo forestal sustentable y únicamente se concibe como una herramienta alternativa que se encuentra en pleno desarrollo.
