1.1 本规程规定了使用不同系统追踪木材纤维至在不同森林管理或森林认证系统下运行的来源的产品的最低标准和评估要求。 1.2 本实践的目的是为木制品制造商、分销商和零售商提供一个系统，以提供清晰、客观的信息，与消费者沟通特定森林管理或森林认证计划中不同木纤维追踪系统的产品合规性。它提供了一种结构，将主要森林认证标准和管理森林产品生产的其他自愿和监管标准中使用的不同类型的标签和追踪系统进行隔离。 注1: 本实践中的原则在国际上适用，前提是提供所需信息以支持分类。例如，经全球公认森林认证标准认证的产品将符合“认证来源”类别，无论其来源如何，并记录风险评估（见 附录X5 )提供来源于加拿大和美国的原材料被视为符合“合法来源”类别的依据。为了将来自加拿大和美国以外的原材料归类为“合法来源”，建议采用实体根据需要制定补充条款，以解决特定国家的问题。 1.2.1 这一做法提供了一个客观的基础来区分: 1.2.1.1 森林产品的无争议（即合法）来源， 1.2.1.2 林产品的责任来源（即，无争议来源以及经认证的采购系统，或来自采用负责任做法管理的森林），以及 1.2.1.3 经认证的森林产品来源（即无争议来源以及经认证的监管链）。 1.2.2 本实践旨在提供一个框架，帮助木制品供应商根据美国联邦贸易委员会《环境营销索赔使用指南》（也称为“绿色指南”）的要求，确定证明产品索赔所需的合格可靠证据。 1.2.3 来自未知来源的产品不在本规程范围内。 1.2.4 本规程旨在供制造商、分销商、零售商、消费者和木制品行业标准制定者自愿使用。 1.3 这一做法的类别结构源自公开来源，或基于各种森林管理或森林认证标准的规定。用户负责记录是否符合特定类别的要求。这种分类的目的是根据重要实践的分组，提供一种简明且易于沟通的描述。这种分组可能会导致个别项目的概念和实践的某种整合。这些实践的细节或符合一个以上计划的产品分类超出了本实践的范围。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 自愿森林认证制度已成为促进可持续森林管理的一个重要因素。 然而，使用的标准变化很大。即使在一系列具有共同标签的标准中，实践也可能存在很大差异。这防止生产者和消费者使用认证标签根据一组特定的质量或价值来表征产品。这种做法创建了一个框架，根据一系列在木制品市场上被认为重要的质量和价值来区分产品。 （A） 看见 附录X3 讨论与认证来源子分类相关的其他概念。 （B） 为了根据这种做法对产品进行分类，经销商和零售商可以依赖“产品”标签进行监管链或认证采购系统，如果他们没有参与重大价值- 增加加工或再制造。允许使用表明符合适用监管链或认证采购系统的合规证书代替产品标签。 5.2 这种做法旨在供生产商、分销商、零售商或消费者使用，他们希望了解产品在三个类别中的位置。用户至少需要知道进入产品的木材的地理来源，以及是否根据自愿森林管理或认证标准在采购系统或监管链上贴上标签或以其他方式认证。想要使用这种做法的生产者必须能够确定木材的地理来源，至少达到支持与给定类别相关的消费者索赔所需的水平，并在 6.1 .

1.1 This practice sets forth minimum criteria and evaluation requirements for products employing the use of different systems to trace wood fiber to sources operating under different forest management or forest certification systems. 1.2 The purpose of this practice is to provide wood products manufacturers, distributors, and retailers with a system to provide clear, objective information to communicate to consumers regarding product conformance to different wood fiber tracing systems within specific forest management or forest certification programs. It provides a structure that segregates the different types of labels and tracing systems in use among major forest certification standards and other voluntary and regulatory standards governing the production of forest products. Note 1: The principles in this practice apply internationally, provided that the required information is available to support categorization. For example, products certified to the globally recognized forest certification standards will meet the “Certified Sources” category regardless of their origin, and documented risk assessments (noted in Appendix X5 ) provide the basis upon which raw materials sourced from Canada and the United States can be deemed to meet the “Legal Sources” category. To categorize raw materials sourced outside of Canada and the United States as “Legal Sources,” it is recommended that the adopting entity develop supplemental provisions to address country-specific issues as needed. 1.2.1 This practice provides an objective basis to differentiate among: 1.2.1.1 Non-controversial (that is, legal) sources of forest products, 1.2.1.2 Responsible sources of forest products (that is, non-controversial sources together with certified procurement systems or from forests managed using responsible practices), and 1.2.1.3 Certified sources of forest products (that is, non-controversial sources together with certified chain of custody). 1.2.2 This practice is intended to provide a framework to help wood product vendors identify the competent and reliable evidence needed to substantiate product claims as required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims (also known as “The Green Guides”). 1.2.3 Products from unknown sources are not covered by this practice. 1.2.4 This practice is intended for voluntary use by manufacturers, distributors, retailers, consumers, and standards developers in the wood products sector. 1.3 The category structure of this practice is derived from publicly available sources or based on the provisions of various forest management or forest certification standards. Documentation of compliance with specific category requirements is the responsibility of the user. The objective of this categorization is to provide a concise and easily communicated description based on grouping of significant practices. It is possible that this grouping will result in some consolidation of concepts and practices of individual programs. Details of these practices or categorization of products complying with more than one program are beyond the scope of this practice. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 Voluntary forest certification systems have become an important factor in promoting sustainable forest management. The standards in use are highly variable, however. Even within a family of standards with a common label there is the potential for wide variations in practices. This prevents producers and consumers from using a certification label to characterize products according to a specific set of qualities or values. This practice creates a framework to differentiate products based on a set of qualities and values identified as important in the market for wood products. (A) See Appendix X3 for discussion of additional concepts related to sub-categorization of certified sources. (B) For the purposes of categorizing products under this practice, distributors and retailers can rely on “on-product” labels for chain of custody or a certified procurement system if they are not engaged in significant value-added processing or remanufacture. In lieu of an on‐product label, a certificate of compliance indicating conformance with the applicable chain of custody or certified procurement system is permitted. 5.2 This practice is intended to be used by producers, distributors, retailers, or consumers who wish to understand where a product fits within three categories. At a minimum, the user will need to know the geographic origin of the wood going into a product and whether it is labeled or otherwise certified to a procurement system or chain of custody based on a voluntary forest management or certification standard. Producers who want to use this practice must be able to identify the geographic origin of the wood to at least the level needed to support the claims to consumers associated with a given category and described in 6.1 .
