FAQs about MRc7 :

Do I need to provide invoices for all of the new wood products purchased for the project, or just FSC wood products?

I have supporting manufacturer documentation for the FSC wood used on our project. Is this enough to document this credit, or do I need invoices as well?

Can products labeled “FSC Recycled” or “FSC Recycled Credit” contribute towards MRc7? What about "FSC Mix" percentages that refer to recycled content?

Does FSC-certified wood automatically contribute to IEQc4.4 as a low-emitting material?

We are using a lot of reclaimed wood. Should we include this in our MRc7 calculations? What about wood that is already installed on the project, in a renovation? What about wood products with recycled content?

Does FSC-certified bamboo products count towards this credit?

A product has FSC-certified veneer, but a non-certified core. Can we prorate the MRc7 contribution of this product based on the cost of the veneer?

Should wood used on site features such as benches or a gazebo be included here?

Is there a minimum quantity of wood that must be used on the project to qualify for this credit?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 from LEED-CI as an ID credit. Are we then required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What building components are typically purchased with FSC content to earn this credit?

We’re having trouble getting FSC wood within our budget. Can we use products with another forestry certification?

ADVICE-01-010 FSC Online Claims Platform (OCP) Criteria Has anybody seen this? It looks to me like it is just getting certificate holders registered, which seems pretty easy. But I was told that in the future all FSC invoices would need to be registered. That is going to be a nightmare for large users. Any thoughts?

All FSC certificate holders in the supply chain will be required to participate in the FSC Online Claims Platform. The following link provides additional information regarding the platform. http://claims-forum.fsc.org/sample-page/online-claims-platform-development-implementation-schedule
