NSC Unveils New Industry Standard at AIA Convention

The Natural Stone Council (NSC) has developed a new standard, called “ANSI/NSC-373, Sustainable Production of Natural Dimension Stone” which will allow quarriers, processors and fabricators of natural stone who consistently meet or exceed the standards to label and promote their stone products as “certified Genuine Stone,” according to the council. 

The associated Chain of Custody standard is a companion document that tracks the material as it moves from the quarry through manufacturing and through the supply chain to the ultimate destination, including the job site or the end user. Distributors can obtain certification under the Chain of Custody protocols.
