This document specifies how calculations of different parts can be combined into a carbon balance calculation for the entire value chain related to wood and wood-based products. NOTE This document will gradually mature over time as methodology evolves. This document sets general requirements and overarching terminology. This document includes information on how to bring calculation results forward in the value chain. It also includes information on how claims and declarations can be worded based on this standard, both within the value chain and to customers and consumers.

This document provides a methodology for calculating the carbon balance of a forest management unit. This quantification methodology will demonstrate if the forest management unit is a net carbon sink or net carbon source. It provides information that can be used both on organizational and product levels. This calculation methodology includes system boundaries, geographical scale, time periods, allocation method, emission and removal factors etc. Emissions related to forest operations (e.g. fuels for machinery, the production and use of fertilizers) are not included in this document. NOTE Emissions related to forest operations are covered in part 1 of this standard series.

This document provides a methodology for calculating the displacement effects for wood and wood-based products including through substitution. This document also deals with double counting and products that do not substitute other products or lead to displacement.
