	Canada Organic Biologique Canada · Tier 1 Gold	IBD IBD Orgânico (Brazil) Brazil · Tier 2 Trusted	Global Organic Textile Standard Global · Tier 2 Trusted	Bioland Germany · Tier 2 Trusted
What it means	The federal Canadian organic standard, mandatory on any agricultural product sold across provincial borders or imported as 'organic'.	South America's largest organic certifier. IBD certifies under Brazilian, USDA NOP, EU, and JAS standards — a single-stop certifier widely used across Latin America.	The strictest, most widely-recognised standard for organic textiles. Covers the full supply chain from organic fibre to finished garment, with environmental AND social criteria.	Germany's largest organic farmers' association. Bioland-certified farms operate to a stricter private standard than the EU baseline.
Scope	Food	Several categories	Textiles	Food
Established	2009	1990	2002	1971
Inspection	Annual on-site by CFIA-accredited certifier	Annual on-site, IFOAM- and ISO 17065-accredited	Annual on-site, IOAS-accredited	Annual on-site by Bioland-accredited inspectors
Residue testing	Risk-based, conducted by accredited certifiers	Required	Required for finished products	Required
Guarantees	≥95% organic ingredients (single-ingredient products: 100%). No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs, no irradiation. Annual third-party certification under the Canada Organic Regime.	Multiple-standard certification: Brazilian (SisOrg), USDA NOP, EU, JAS, Demeter. Annual on-site inspection.	≥70% certified-organic natural fibre (the 'organic' grade requires ≥95%). Restricted dyes, no chlorine bleach, no formaldehyde, no banned heavy metals. Wastewater treatment requirements. Social standards based on ILO core conventions (no child labour, no forced labour, fair wages, safe workplace). Annual on-site inspection by IOAS-accredited certifier.	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.
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 cover non-textile components (zips, buttons, prints) beyond the chemical-restriction list.	Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.
