FSC Canada has begun the process of reviewing the country’s National Boreal Standard.

The Canadian standard was first accredited in August 2004 and is therefore due for FSC revision to ensure its continued relevance.

As a first step, FSC Canada posted a Framework of a Work Plan for the revision process, with an opportunity for people to review and comment on the framework.

The latest version of the Boreal Revision Work Plan is available on the FSC Canada website. ??

FSC Canada is in the “information collection” phase of the work plan, with a survey to be launched in the coming months and the appointment of a Boreal Revision Committee anticipated for summer or autumn this year.
