The objective of this standard is to clarify the principles to be followed by certification bodies when auditing and sampling management units and integrating the observations to come to a reliable certification decision.
The purpose of this review is to assess the continued relevance and effectiveness of FSC’s main standard regulating the auditing of responsible forest management: FSC-STD-20-007 Forest management evaluations, and the associated addenda; FSC-STD-20-007a Forest certification reports and FSC-STD-20-007b Forest certification public summary reports.
A review is a mandatory step before a normative document can be taken to a revision process.
