It covers labelling and promotion of products with FSC trademarks as well as promotion of an organization’s status as an FSC certificate holder.  \nLabelling the products and promoting them with FSC trademarks helps consumers make informed decisions about the products and materials they purchase. Therefore, it is essential that they are used correctly, do not mislead customers and the public about certification claims, and are not associated with quality aspects beyond those covered by FSC certification.  \nThe FSC trademarks are the primary communication tool for FSC certificate holders to demonstrate that their products meet the standards set by FSC. As FSC licence holders, certificate holders have an important role in protecting the joint investments that licensees as users and FSC as the trademark owner have made to develop the FSC system. These requirements are established to ensure accuracy of messaging about the meaning of FSC, and to enhance unified presentation of these messages to amplify recognition of the licensee’s accomplishments.  \nIn addition to these requirements, FSC provides tools to help certificate holders promote and label products – for example, by providing a label generator and a marketing toolkit with guidance and ready-to-use examples on how to create promotional materials in line with the FSC brand. For certificate holders, FSC provides an online training course on use of the trademarks. Access to the online services for certificate holders is arranged by their certification bodies.  \nOn the FSC website, there is a quick guide to FSC trademark use that summarizes the core requirements presented in this document.  \nPlease note that the FSC trademarks can be used on products only by holders of FSC chainof-custody (CoC) certificates or joint FSC forest management and chain-of-custody  \n(FM/CoC) certificates.  \nVersion history  \n\n| V1-0 | The first version of the requirements approved in January 2010 combined several documents and gathered together all clauses on trademark use previously presented over number of standards and guidelines. V1-0 also introduced new on-product labels for the FSC system. |\n| --- | --- |\n| V1-1 | The minor reviews in February and November 2010 clarified langua","cbCaiqsuoxhXozYU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqsuoxhXozYU","pdf",2397333,28,"English","# Introduction\n# Version history\n# A Objective\n# B Scope\n# C Standard effective date\n# D References\n# Part I: General requirements\n## 1.
