Elevate Your Brand with the Organic Content Standard (OCS)
The Organic Content Standard (OCS) is an international, voluntary standard that verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product. OCS tracks the flow of raw materials from the source to the final product using a strict chain of custody, allowing businesses to confidently and legally market their products as organic.
The Two OCS Certification Claims
Depending on the organic percentage of your product, you will apply for one of two labels.
OCS 100
Used exclusively for products containing 95% to 100% organic material.
OCS Blended
Used for products containing between 5% and 94% organic material mixed with conventional inputs.
Core Pillars of OCS Compliance
Input Verification
Ensuring all incoming raw organic materials originate from certified organic farms.
Chain of Custody
Using Transaction Certificates (TCs) to track materials through every stage of production.
Material Segregation
Maintaining strict operational barriers to prevent mixing organic and conventional materials.
Transparent Labeling
Providing consumers with verified, accurate claims regarding organic content.
Strategic Benefits of OCS Certification
Consumer Trust
Substitute vague "eco-friendly" marketing with a globally recognized, third-party verified claim.
Market Expansion
