Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	New Zealand's largest organic certifier. Recognised by the EU, US, and Japan under their respective import-equivalence regimes.

Covers food, textiles, and personal care under separate standards.
Does NOT	Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).	A single product may carry IBD plus a country-specific organic mark — IBD itself isn't the regulatory mark in any of those markets, just the accredited certifier.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.
