NC-2009 MRc7:Certified Wood

October 2012 Addenda and Reviewer Comment

For MRc7, it changes the definition of "Chain of Custody (COC)". "A chain-of-custody certification is not required by distributors of a product that is individually labeled with the FSC logo and manufacturer's chain-of-custody number." Does this mean that we only need to show chain of custody from the manufacturer and for any off-site assemblers, like cabinet makers? Also, on a retail volume project we received a comment from the reviewer that we did not need to provide invoices for non FSC woods for ANY projects. Has anybody else received this confirmation from the reviewers? We'd like to proceed with this reduced documentation strategy on our regular LEED NC projects, but since there has been no addenda (or interpretation that we could find), we are still hesitant.

April, I heard at Greenbuild that this definitin of CoC was causing a lot of head-scratching, and was going to be retracted. I haven't seen official conformation of that yet.
