Inquiry

We are looking for clarification for credit requirements regarding documentation to support a certified wood claim under MR credit 7: Certified Wood (MRc6 under CS). Specifically in two situations when CoC claims cannot be passed on the final invoice to the project team. In the first scenario a furniture vendor is the final installer but the cost on the invoice from the manufacturer holding the CoC does not reflect the final cost of the product (minus installation cost). In this case ins the invoice from the manufacturer sufficient, or is the history of the raw material required? In the second scenario architectural millwork is custom made and installed by a millwork company that is CoC certified, but invoices for the entire contract total, not itemized FSC items. Per guidance published in April 2008 aggregated wood totals are allowed, however, what about situations where the entire contract package is not iligible to be invoices with FSC claim? Please define for this project and as precedent how to document MR credit 7: Certified Wood.
