I have another ques. regarding Certified Wood- Which of the following FSC products can count towards the Certified Wood criteria ? (Choose 2) Guard rails Window frame Building tenant printing paper Basboard Scaffolding I assume the answer to be scaffolding and guard rails, since wood products purchased for temporary use may be included in the calculation. Am I correct in assuming so? The answers I was given were basboard and window frame, but I think this is incorrect.

I re-read the question, and I guess the best answer would be the window frame and baseboard, which is why I would have leaned towards it. I've never included the temp stuff in my calcs, always going with the 'permanently installed' mantra.

"Wood products purchased for temporary use on the project (e.g., formwork, bracing, scaffolding, sidewalk protection, and guard rails) may be included in the calculation at your project team's discretion. If any such materials are included, all such materials must be included in the calculation. If such materials are purchased for use on multiple projects, the applicant may include these materials for only one project, at its discretion." Page 393 of the Reference Guide

Herein lies my confusion. The reference guide clearly states that "temporary use" as Kathryn has also pointed out above, also qualify for this credit.

Farah, I notice you're posting a ton of quiz-type questions across the forum. Maybe the person who wrote the quiz questions missed some information? You might want to switch to a different quiz provider since these puzzlers are truly puzzlers since the answers the provide don't appear to be correct!

Agree with kathryn. The last one you posted did not sound quite right either.
