FAQs about MRc6 :

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?

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?

CS-2009 MRc6:Certified Wood

Non Local Supplier

Hi, We have a non local supplier. I mean a company from other country who can bring wood doors to the projects and have FSC-COC for Doors and door frames. We are not so sure if the supplier must be local to ensure the COC, or if the supplier can have COC for his company in other country, and send the doors to our country. Is in the other country where the company produces the door, and then they will send the doors by shipping to my country where I have a LEED Project. We want to be sure if the provider can be from a different country to the project. Thankns in advace.!

Hello Jose - As long as the products are being purchased from an FSC certified supplier, it does not matter whether they are a local supplier or not. As far as FSC requirements, there is no problem for you to purchase products from a different country.
