Country Requirements Interpretations Published

FSC has published a new interpretations document containing all valid interpretations of the FSC normative framework for Forest Stewardship Standards.

FSC has been working towards a more integrated approach to managing interpretations of national-level Forest Stewardship Standards (FSS and IFSS). In the past, these interpretations were typically published on regional or national websites, making it challenging to compare and share insights across different regions.

To address this, a new document consolidating these interpretations into one accessible resource has been published. This initiative fosters connections between countries facing similar interpretation questions, promoting shared learning and consistency in applying the standards.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all the countries that contributed feedback and collaborated to make this possible. Your support has been invaluable in achieving this milestone!

The interpretations document is available in the FSC Document Centre here.
