What it means	Germany's national organic mark, owned by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on most German organic packaging since 2001. Same standard as the EU Leaf — Bio-Siegel is the brand consumers recognise.	India's national organic mark under the National Programme for Organic Production. Administered by APEDA; required on any food exported as organic and increasingly on domestic packaging.	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.
Scope	Food	Food	Several categories
Established	2001	2001	1992
Inspection	Annual on-site by EU-accredited German control body	Annual on-site by APEDA-accredited certifier	Annual audit by national Ecolabel competent body
Residue testing	Risk-based	Required for export shipments	Per-category limits
Guarantees	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited German certifier.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual third-party certification.	Lifecycle-based environmental criteria per product category. Restrictions on hazardous chemicals. Annual licence renewal with audit.
Does NOT	Same standard as the EU Leaf — not stricter.	Domestic-only sales can also use FSSAI's 'Jaivik Bharat' mark — if you see only 'Jaivik Bharat' without 'India Organic', the supply chain may be PGS-India rather than NPOP-accredited.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.
