Our organization has sent you a complaint about FSC certification in Russia 25.06.2007. Furthermore, also was sent a second complaint about the FSC / ASI audit in Russia 03.07.2007. We also sent a reminder of the response 29.10.2007. Unfortunately, we have not received any replies. We understand that the problems that were outlined in the complaints are not simple, as they relate to the corruption of FSC certification in Russia. Nevertheless, we would like to get a reasoned response to the results of your research.

If the research problem will not be held, then we may say that the FSC (at least in Russia) does not set forth procedures and standards. In particular, FSC / ASI guide ISO / IEC Guide 59 Code of Good Practice for Standardization.
