What is OCS?

The Organic Content Standard (OCS) verifies the presence and amount of organically grown material in a final product and tracks the flow of that raw material from its source to the finished product.

Unlike GOTS, OCS focuses specifically on organic content and chain of custody rather than processing criteria. IQS supports organizations in achieving OCS certification.

  • Organic content — verify the amount of organic material.
  • Source to product — track material through the chain.
  • Flexible scope — OCS 100 and OCS Blended options.
