What it means	Norway's only accredited organic certifier. The Ø-merket is required on any food sold as 'økologisk' in Norway. Operates to EU 2018/848 equivalence plus Norwegian add-ons.	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	Germany's largest organic farmers' association. Bioland-certified farms operate to a stricter private standard than the EU baseline.

Does NOT	Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.
