Our project is already constructed and includes approximately 80% FSC-certified wood (FSC 100%). The remaining 20% consists of legally sourced wood with documented origin, but it was not procured under FSC at the time of construction. We are currently exploring the possibility of pursuing FSC Project Certification post-construction. As part of this effort, we are evaluating whether this 20% portion could be incorporated into the FSC system through a Due Diligence System (DDS) in accordance with FSC-STD-40-005, in order to classify it as FSC Controlled Wood and achieve full FSC system coverage.
Question:
Can FSC Project Certification with an FSC Mix claim—where non-certified wood is incorporated through a DDS as Controlled Wood—be accepted as compliance with Imperative 14 in lieu of the 80/20 requirement?
