Wanted: Consultative Forum Members For Project Certification Standard
All FSC stakeholders are invited to register their interest in taking part in a consultation about technical issues relating to the revision of the project certification standard (FSC-STD-40-006).
What are this standard’s objectives?
Project certification is a specific form of chain of custody (CoC) certification for the production of a unique item (e.g. a building or a boat) that use FSC certified forest-based materials, or FSC certified products. It recognizes that, in some cases, not all parties involved in a specific project are certified, even if the forest-based materials used for the project are covered by FSC CoC certification.
In addition to the project certification standard, an FSC system-wide concept will be developed to explain how FSC certificate holders and trademark license holders can make claims on the input volumes of FSC certified material that they source; these are known as ‘procurement claims’.
What are the selection criteria for the consultative forum?
All FSC stakeholders who would like to contribute to the revision of this standard and/or the development of a procurement claims model are welcome to join the consultative forum.
Register today
To take part in the consultative forum, please complete the attached registration form and send it to the project coordinator Dorothee Jung - d.jung at fsc point org.
