Version 2-0 of FSC-STD-40-006 contains a range of options for the certification of organizations of all sizes managing projects, as well as a variety of project types (eg a single wooden boat or a large complex of buildings).

FSC publishes this advice note to align trademark requirements for public communications about projects and organizations holding a project certificate. As the concept of project certification was redesigned and simplified, there is a need to readjust the trademark requirements.
