The Wilderness Society has been labelled un-Australian by the forestry industry, over its claim that Australian forest products face a ban in the United Kingdom.

The society says a British Government committee has declared that the Australian Forest Standard does not meet the criteria for its endorsement of forest certification schemes.

The society wants the standard suspended, and reframed with environmental non-government organisations included in the consultation.

The National Association of Forest Industries says the Wilderness Society is spreading incorrect information.

The association's Catherine Murphy says there is no talk of a ban on the part of the British.

"The United Kingdom has decided that the international certification scheme under which a lot of Australian timber products are certified ... they are doing a review of it and yes, they are saying they wish to review it further and it is on probation," she said.

"But the UK minister has confirmed today that the UK Government would still accept timber that is certified under the international - what is called the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Scheme - of which the Australian Forestry Standard is a member."

Federal Forestry Minister Eric Abetz has also condemned the Wilderness Society over the claim.

He says the British Government has merely announced a review of forest certification schemes, and that while the review is being done, Australian timber will still be accepted.

Senator Abetz says the Wilderness Society is pedalling false information and harming employment opportunities for Australian forestry workers.
