FAQs about MRc6 :

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?

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?

CS-2009 MRc6:Certified Wood

COC number

If I have two types of wood and obviously two CoC number (one for each), but many purchases of those, do I have to show FSC logo or something proving that the products are FSC certified on each receipt? Or can I just provide one document containing both of the CoC number and many receipts?

Hi Fabiana - When you say two types of wood - do you mean wood from two vendors? In our opinion, the CoC# and certificate from each Vendor, along with receipts that include the vendors name, address, etc. with line-item material descriptions that include the term 'FSC' would be prudent (or something similar). | dp

Also Fabiana - The invoices should include the CoC number - below is language from the FSC US Website regarding a 2008 interpretation: "Each vendor invoice must conform to the following requirements (except as noted in the Appendix under ‘Exceptions’): 1.Each wood product must be identified on a line-item basis; 2.FSC-certified products must be identified as such on a line-item basis; 3.The $ value of each line item must be shown; 4.The vendor’s chain-of-custody (CoC) certificate number must be shown on any invoice that includes FSC products."
