	Bioland Germany · Tier 2 Trusted	NATRUE European Union · Tier 2 Trusted	$OEKO-TEX Standard 100 logo$ OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Global · Tier 3 Specialty	Orgánico SAGARPA / SENASICA (Mexico) Mexico · Tier 1 Gold
What it means	Germany's largest organic farmers' association. Bioland-certified farms operate to a stricter private standard than the EU baseline.	An EU-based natural-and-organic cosmetics certification. Three grades: Natural, Natural with Organic portion, and Organic.	Tests finished textiles for harmful substances. Important: OEKO-TEX 100 is NOT an organic certification — it certifies that the finished item is free of certain chemicals, regardless of how the fibre was grown.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).
Scope	Food	Cosmetics	Textiles	Food
Established	1971	2007	1992	2006

Residue testing	Required	Risk-based	Required (this is the entire point)	Required
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.	Restricted ingredient list (no synthetic fragrances, no silicones, no PEGs). Tiered organic content: Natural with Organic portion ≥70% certified organic; Organic ≥95%. Annual third-party verification.	Finished textile tested against the OEKO-TEX harmful-substance limit list. Limits on heavy metals, formaldehyde, pesticide residue, banned amines, allergenic dyes.	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.
Does NOT	Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.	Mark is trademark-protected.	Does NOT mean organic. Does NOT cover farming, dyeing chemistry beyond the limit list, or social/labour standards. A 100% conventional cotton t-shirt can be OEKO-TEX 100 certified.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.
