FSC is revising “Requirements for use of the FSC trademarks by Certificate Holders” (FSC-STD-50-001 V1-2) to streamline trademark requirements and to integrate advice notes and interpretations issued after the last revision. The revision will also address Motions 29 and 36 passed at the General Assembly 2014. The revised standard is expected to be published in March 2016.
