New Controlled Forest Management standard published

The new version of FSC-STD-30-010 Controlled Forest Management Standard V3-0 is now published on 01 January 2024 with major changes in the structure and the contents of the standard. Download the standard here.

This standard specifies basic requirements applicable at the forest management level for organizations to demonstrate that the materials produced and supplied from those management units conform to the requirements specified in the 5 categories of this standard which are as follows:

  1. Forest management and trade that respects and upholds legality;
  2. Forest management that respects and upholds customary and human rights, including those that are defined in The ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work;
  3. Forest management that maintains or enhances social, cultural, environmental, and high conservation values (HCV);
  4. Forest management that prevents deforestation and degradation;
  5. Forest management that is free of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).

This new version replaces Controlled Wood Standard for Forest Management Enterprises V2-0.

The revision of the standard FSC-STD-30-010 was triggered by the Strategy for FSC Mix products and Controlled Wood. The strategy aims at reducing reliance on all forms of Controlled Wood and to enable a stepwise approach towards full forest management certification.
