FSC has opened the registration to participate in the revision of the FSC Product Classification Standard Addendum through a focused consultation on the first draft.


FSC is revising the FSC-STD-40-004a FSC Product Classification. This standard addendum defines the product group nomenclatures that shall be used by all chain of custody certificate holders and applicant organizations for the purpose of establishing FSC Product Groups, in accordance with the requirements of FSC-STD-40-004 Chain of Custody Certification. An expansion of the product groups is being proposed, so participation in the consultation is crucial.
