🌿 Organic Content Standard (OCS) Certification – Verified Organic Material in Every Step

What is Organic Content Standard (OCS) Certification?

The Organic Content Standard (OCS) is an internationally recognized certification that verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product. It tracks the organic fiber from source to finished product, ensuring transparency and integrity at every stage of the supply chain.

Whether you’re a manufacturer, brand, or retailer, OCS certification helps you prove your organic claims with confidence.

Key Features of OCS Certification

  • ✅ Verifies use of certified organic raw materials (e.g., organic cotton, wool)

  • 🔗 Ensures chain of custody via third-party audits

  • 🧾 Certification available in two levels:

    • OCS 100 – For products containing 95–100% organic material

    • OCS Blended – For products with a minimum of 5% organic material blended with conventional fibers

  • 🏷️ Allows use of the OCS label on certified products

Why Organic Content Standard Certification Matters

Consumers and buyers increasingly demand verified, traceable, and ethical products. OCS certification:

  • ✅ Confirms organic fiber content in non-food goods

  • 🧵 Adds value to your textiles, garments, and accessories

  • 🌍 Helps you meet buyer and retailer compliance requirements

  • 🔍 Enhances supply chain transparency and credibility

  • ❌ Helps prevent false or misleading “organic” claims (greenwashing)

What Products Can Be OCS Certified?

OCS is ideal for any non-food product made with organic materials, such as:

  • 👕 Apparel (T-shirts, hoodies, babywear, sportswear)

  • 🛏️ Home textiles (sheets, pillows, towels)

  • 👜 Fashion accessories and bags

  • 🧵 Yarns, fabrics, and trims

  • 🎒 Textile-based lifestyle products

OCS Certification Process

  1. Raw Material Verification

    • Organic input must be certified under recognized standards (e.g., USDA Organic, EU Organic)

  2. Chain of Custody Audit

    • Each stage (spinning, weaving, dyeing, packaging) is verified and documented

  3. Third-Party Certification

    • Accredited bodies conduct inspections, verify records, and issue certificates

  4. Label Use & Claims Approval

    • Certified products may carry the OCS 100 or OCS Blended logo with traceable content percentages

Benefits of OCS Certification

  • 📈 Increase market appeal for eco-conscious consumers

  • ✅ Verify organic content without full processing standards (like GOTS)

  • 🌱 Demonstrate environmental responsibility

  • 🛒 Improve retail and export opportunities

  • 📜 Provide documented proof for B2B and B2C buyers
