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?

CI-2009 MRc7:Certified Wood

FSC COC for subcontractors

I have a subcontractor that purchased COC certified materials from COC certified suppliers. The subcontractor modified materials and installed, are they also required to carry a COC certification?

If they did more than trim items to fit, then yes they must also continue the COC chain and provide the proper documentation. For example, if they bought FSC plywood and made cabinets, they must have the COC.

I have a similar case. The subcontractor purchases certified wood from suppliers with the COC number. The subcontractor will cut and paint the wood. Is he also required to have the COC?

I believe it also depends on whether they do their modifications off-site or on-site. If they do all of their cutting/painting/modifying on-site, my understanding is that they do not need a COC as the wood has already reached its final destination. But if they are doing those modifications off-site, then they would need a COC for their final "product" that they are shipping to the site...
