	EU Ecolabel (Flower) European Union · Tier 3 Specialty	Bio-Siegel (Germany) Germany · Tier 1 Gold	Tún (Iceland) Iceland · Tier 1 Gold
What it means	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	Germany's national organic mark, owned by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on most German organic packaging since 2001. Same standard as the EU Leaf — Bio-Siegel is the brand consumers recognise.	Vottunarstofan Tún is Iceland's only accredited organic certifier. Accredited by MAST (Matvælastofnun) under the EU 2018/848-equivalent Icelandic standard, so a Tún-certified product is also recognised as EU-organic.
Scope	Several categories	Food	Food
Established	1992	2001	1994
Inspection	Annual audit by national Ecolabel competent body	Annual on-site by EU-accredited German control body	Annual on-site, MAST-accredited
Residue testing	Per-category limits	Risk-based	Required for at-risk operations
Guarantees	Lifecycle-based environmental criteria per product category. Restrictions on hazardous chemicals. Annual licence renewal with audit.	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited German certifier.	≥95% organic ingredients per EU rules. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection. Animal welfare standards (outdoor / pasture access, geothermally-warmed greenhouse compatibility for vegetables).
Does NOT	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Same standard as the EU Leaf — not stricter.	There aren't many Tún-certified operations (~120–160) — coverage in the Icelandic market is narrower than in the EU mainland.
