["2. For each indicator listed in Tab 2: Assessment of Indicators, please identify the level of risk within the certified area in the scope of the FSC Regulatory Module (FSC-STD-01-004), categorizing it as either 'negligible' or 'non-negligible.' \nAccompany this categorization with a  description of the risk and relevant references.\n\nNote 1: The Organization may regard conformity with the applicable criteria of the relevant Forest Stewardship Standard specified in Column F as satisfactory evidence of negligible risk for the corresponding indicator. The template has been pre-populated based on the assumption of conformity, with the exception of Indicator 26, which needs to be assessed by the Organization. To assess this indicator, the Organization may use the FSC Risk Assessment if it is available for the assessment area. Once the evaluation is conducted, update the risk conclusion (Column D) and provide a brief description of the risk along with the relevant references (Column E)."]
