Inquiry

If a product is certified as "FSC Mixed Source" or "FSC Mixed NN%", can it be used to meet the EPP specification in MR 2.2 - or is credit only awarded for "FSC Pure" certified material?

Ruling

Yes - (until further guidance from the TAG), any of the FSC certifications (FSC Pure, FSC Mixed Credit, FSC Mixed Source, and FSC Mixed NN%) may be used to satisfy the requirements in MR 2.2. Products that are certified as FSC Recycled may be used to satisfy the "recycled-content" criteria in MR 2.2 . Note that this is a change from the policy in the Reference Guide, which states that FSC Mixed NN% should be counted at NN%.
