This Guidance is written to support Standard Development Groups (SDGs) in the development of National High Conservation Value (HCV) Frameworks and aims to clarify the specific requirements for the identification, management planning, operations, monitoring and restoration of HCVs in FSC certified forests
This FSC guidance on the implementation of FPIC aims to assist all parties involved in FSC certification in safeguarding the rights of forest dependent indigenous peoples and local communities in or near FSC certified operations.
The Template for National High Conservation Value Frameworks is to provide direction and structure for Standard Development Groups (SDGs) to develop National HCV Frameworks.
This guide provides a generic framework for Integrated Pest, Disease and Weed Management (IPM) on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified estates, which may include indigenous forests and plantations.
The guidance document is written for standard developers and aims to support in the implementation of relevant International Generic Indicators (IGIS) by providing additional guidance in situations where a standard developer wishes to deviate from the default threshold of 80% of the Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) to be protected within the Management Unit (MU).
This guidance document is intended for use by certification bodies of these social standards systems in order to aid in the verification of payment of living wages where country-specific estimates have been prepared under the Anker Methodology.
The overall purpose of this document is to provide guidance to FSC National Initiatives, national or sub-national standard writing groups and certification bodies when developing FSC forest stewardship standards.

Structure, Content and Development of Interim National Standards
Procedure (PRO)
V(1-2)
The objective of this document is to specify the requirements for FSC-accredited certification bodies for developing Interim National Standard (INS) or Interim Regional Standard (IRS), depending on the geographic scope of the standard, for the certification of responsible forest management and the responsible management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) at the Management Unit (MU) level. These standards shall be based on the International Generic Indicators (IGI) and shall address the regional, national or sub-national conditions in which they are to be used and shall consider input from local stakeholders. The FSC Board of Directors at FSC International, acting through the Policy Steering Group (PSG) shall approve Interim National Standards (INS) before they can be used for FSC certification purposes. In March 2020 the revised procedure was published to reflect the FSC Board of Directors’ decision during their 82nd meeting to delegate the approval of INS to the Policy Steering Group.
