Does the United States follow the same graphical requirements as Canada?
Yes. The FSC Chain-of-Custody and Labeling standards are developed at the international level by FSC International. Working with environmental, social and industry stakeholders, the standards apply to all companies of the supply chain between the forest and the final consumer. Are designers limited to black, white and/or Pantone 626 inks? The new FSC labels are available in positive and negative FSC green, black and white. Exceptions can be made if the print job uses a limited number of colors (e.g. corporate colors) with approval from the certification body. FSC Green: Pantone C 626 CMYK Build: 100% Cyan 60% Magenta 100% Yellow 20% Black RGB: 50 Red 80 Green 60 Blue Is there any watchdog for the improper use of the logo? Yes, FSC takes the use of the FSC Trademarks quite seriously and does monitor the marketplace for any misuse. FSC then follows up on each case to resolve the misuse. If you see any misuses of the trademark, please let us know. Send all misuses to: Monika Patel mpatel@
