Inquiry

We are requesting clarification on whether the v2.1 CIR ruling 8/4/2003 (revised 6/9/2004) may be applied to MRc7 using the v2.2 compliance path. The CIR ruling states that FSC\'s partial content rules allow for a wood product with 70% or higher FSC content by volume to be considered as 100% FSC in the MRc7 calculator if the wood is sourced from a manufacturer with chain-of-custody certification. The v2.2 Reference Guide does not refer to this partial content rule; therefore we would like to clarify whether or not this v2.1 CIR ruling may be applied using the v2.2 compliance path.
