With this new step, the principles of the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Core  \nConventions and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at work (1998) are integrated into FSC’s Chain of Custody standards.  \nUsing this guidance document  \nThis document is not normative and is only meant for guidance purposes. No part of this document is normative unless referencing normative documents (standards, procedures, etc. ) . Auditors may use this document, but they also need to factor in the size and scale of operations and the specific country contexts.  \nThe guidance provided here is not prescriptive but only illustrative in nature. Certificate holders and auditors do not need to use everything here and are not limited to what is provided in this document. Based on ongoing feedback, FSC international will periodically update this document.  \nGuidance document purpose  \nThe objective of this informative document is to:  \n• Guide organizations certified against the FSC Chain of Custody Standard to implement the FSC core labour requirements within their operations.  \n• Inform certification bodies and auditors  \n• Support prospective organizations to prepare for FSC Chain of Custody certification  \nThis document is not intended to be exhaustive or prescriptive but guides organizations and certification bodies from a generic, international perspective.
