FSC has published a new controlled wood interpretation under the code INT-STD-40-005_36. It focuses on whether a 'negligible’ risk designation in an FSC Risk Assessment for the sourcing of non-certified material can ever override a certificate holder being made aware of information indicating that the material is from an unacceptable source.

The interpretation can be found on page 9 of the newly uploaded Controlled Wood Interpretations document in FSC's Document Centre. Please use the button below to access the document.
