The OCS applies to any non-food product containing 5-100% organic material. It verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product.

 

It addresses the flow of products within and between companies, raw material verification, post-harvest processing, manufacturing, packaging and labeling, storage, handling, and shipping through the seller in the last business-to-business transaction.

 

It allows for transparent, consistent, and comprehensive independent evaluation and verification of Organic Material content claims on products by a third-party Certification Body (CB).
