General
Specification Language for use in specifying FSC-certified
wood products. Be sure to include the documentation requirements
and to make those clear to your contractor. Specifications for FSC-certified
woods are often broken by contractors, but clearly communicated
intent and good follow-up will usually yield good results.

that a company is FSC-certified doesn’t mean that the wood
it sells came from an FSC-certified forest.
