FSC invites you to comment on a draft Forest Management Advice Note on Alignment of Forest Stewardship Standards (FSS) with international SLIMF Eligibility Criteria (FSC-STD-01-003 V2-0) for Management Units with NTFP plantations (FSC-ADVICE-01-003-01).
As the Advice Note concerns requirements impacting specific national and regional FSS, we encourage feedback from accredited certification bodies and auditors active in affected countries or regions. They are Brazil, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and the Central America Region.
