Appendix 1C Guideines for forest certification, CoC certification and organic production Requirements on forestry standards Nordic Ecoabeing sets requirements on the standards to which forestry is certified. These requirements are described beow. Each individua nationa forestry standard and each certification system is reviewed by Nordic Ecoabeing as to fufiment of the requirements. When a forestry standard is revised, it is re-reviewed. Requirements on forestry standards The standard must baance economic, ecoogica and socia interests and compy with the Rio Decaration s forestry principes, Agenda 21 and the Forest Principes, and respect reevant internationa conventions and agreements. The standard must contain absoute requirements and promote and contribute towards sustainabe forestry. Nordic Ecoabeing paces specia emphasis on the standard incuding effective requirements to protect the forest from iega feing and that the requirements protect the biodiversity of the forest. The standard must be avaiabe to the genera pubic. The standard must have been deveoped in an open process in which stakehoders with ecoogica, economic and socia interests have been invited to participate. The requirements reated to forestry standards are formuated as process requirements. The basis is that if stakehoders agree on the economic, socia and environmenta aspects of the forestry standard, this safeguards an acceptabe requirement eve. If a forestry standard is deveoped or approved by stakehoders with ecoogica, economic and socia interests, the standard may maintain an acceptabe standard. Accordingy, Nordic Ecoabeing requires that the standard baances these three interests and that representatives from a three areas are invited to participate in deveopment of the forestry standard. The standard must set absoute requirements that must be fufied for the certification of the forestry. This ensures that the forest management fufis an acceptabe eve regards the environment. When Nordic Ecoabeing re quires that the standard sha promote and contribute towards sustainabe forestry, the standard must be assessed and revised reguary to initiate process improvement and successivey reduce environmenta impact. Requirements on certification system The certification system must be open, have significant nationa or internationa credibiity and be abe to verify that the requirements in the forestry standard are fufied.

Requirements on certification body The certification body must be independent, credibe and capabe of verifying that the requirements of the standard have been fufied. The certification body must aso be abe to communicate the resuts and to faciitate the effective impementation of the standard. The purpose of certification is to ensure that the requirements regarding forestry standards are fufied. The certification system must be designed to verify that the requirements of the forest standard are fufied. The method used for certification must be repeatabe and appicabe to forestry. Certification must be in respect to a specific forestry standard. The forest must be inspected prior to certification. Requirements on Chain of Custody (CoC) certification Chain of Custody certification must be issued by an accredited, competent third party (as for forest certification). The system sha stipuate requirements regarding the chain of custody that assure traceabiity, documentation and contros throughout the production chain. If recyced fibre, wood shavings or sawdust are used, the pup manufacturer must verify that this originates from recyced materias. Requirements on organic production With regard to certified organic fibre raw materia or production that is in the transition to organic production, the vegetabe raw materias must be produced and checked in accordance with Counci Reguation (EEC) No 2092/91 or 834/2007, or produced and checked in an equivaent way according to an equivaent reguatory system such as KRAV, SKAL, IMO or OCIA. NB! Bamboo may either be certified according to a sustainabe forestry standard or organic production. Documentation Copy of forestry/ fiber raw materia standard, name, address and teephone number to the organization who has worked out the standard and audit report. References to persons who represents stakehoders with ecoogica, economic and socia interests who have been invited to participate. Nordic Ecoabeing may request further documents to examine whether the requirements of the forestry standard and certification system in question can be approved.

Appendix 1D Summary of certified wood and fibre raw materia The proportion of certified wood or fibre raw materia sha be cacuated using one of the foowing three methods: 1. Using the tota proportion of fibre raw materia from certified forestry operations/organic production purchased annuay by the factory, assuming that fibre raw materia from certified forestry operations/organic production is present in a pup types. In this case the proportion wi be the same for a pups produced by the mi. 2. Cacuation of the input in each individua pup type on an annua basis. Here, documentation must be submitted on the system used for tracing fibre raw materias from certified forestry operations/organic production within the mi. In the case of pups containing severa wood/pant fibre types, the proportion of fibre raw materia from certified forestry operations/organic production is cacuated as the tota of the weighted proportion of each wood type based on an annua average. (The proportion of fibre raw materia from certified forestry operations/organic production is mutipied by the proportion of the wood/pant type in question in the pup. The figures for a wood/pant types are then added up.) 3. Using the tota proportion of fibre raw materia from certified forestry operations/organic production purchased annuay by the trade company (company or group) in the country in question, assuming that fibre raw materia from certified forestry operations/organic production is present in the appicabe pup type. It must be possibe for an independent third party to verify the traceabiity of the fibre raw materia from the feing site to the trade company. Appendix 1C provides guideines that the Nordic Ecoabeing Board uses as a basis for the evauation of certification standards, systems and bodies. Nordic Ecoabeing of Paper products - Basic Modue 2.1
