Does NOT	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.	Doesn't itself mean organic — pair with an organic mark for the full picture.	Allows synthetic pesticides — does NOT meet any organic standard. Often confused with organic but it's a different programme.
