Which of the following pieces of documentation are required to demonstrate compliance with MR Credit 7 Certified Wood? (Choose 3)
-Chain of Custody number for each Certified Wood product
-Environmental Policy of final FSC retailer
-Cost of all new wood products used on site
-Date of purchase for all Certified Wood products
-Type of FSC Certified Wood
-Cost of all recycled wood products used on site
I am torn between date of purchase and type of FSC certified wood- are either of these required?

The necessary documentation is detailed in the LEED reference guides.
You need "vendor" (end of value chain prior to the job site) invoices with valid CoC codes for each company (not each product). FSC-certified wood products should be identified as such by an "FSC claim" (e.g. FSC 100%, FSC Mix Credit) and in some cases the claim will change the credit calculation.
You need to know the total cost of the wood products used in order to know if at least half of the value is FSC.
Everything else in your list -- the environmental policy for the retailer, the date of purchase, and the cost of recycled wood -- isn't necessary.

Jason- one further clarification- the cost of all new wood and the cost of all new Certified Wood products would be needed, correct?
Thanks!
