Scope	Food	Several categories
Established	1971	1983
Inspection	Annual on-site by Bioland-accredited inspectors	Annual on-site, IFOAM-accredited
Residue testing	Required	Risk-based
Guarantees	Whole-farm conversion (no parallel conventional production). Lower permitted nitrogen inputs than EU baseline. Animal welfare standards stricter than EU baseline. Annual on-site inspection.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection. Covers food, textiles, and personal care under separate standards.
Does NOT	Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.
