We’re pleased to announce the release of Version 1-2 of the SLIMF and Community Forests Eligibility Criteria Addendum (FSC-STD-01-003a), available in English via the FSC Document Centre.

This updated version identifies countries where national eligibility thresholds differ from the international thresholds defined in FSC-STD-01-003, offering essential guidance to standard developers for aligning Forest Stewardship Standards (FSS) with national contexts.

The revision reflects key developments since the last update in 2025, including the approval and publication of new national and interim FSS for several countries up to Q1 of 2026.
The updated version (English only) is now available for download via the FSC Document Centre.

The document comes into effect on 1 July 2026 and will be updated annually.
