	EU Ecolabel (Flower) European Union · Tier 3 Specialty	Korea Organic South Korea · 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.	South Korea's national organic mark under MAFRA (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs). Required on any food sold as 유기농 in Korea.	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 MAFRA-accredited certifier	Annual on-site, MAST-accredited
Residue testing	Per-category limits	Required	Required for at-risk operations
Guarantees	Lifecycle-based environmental criteria per product category. Restrictions on hazardous chemicals. Annual licence renewal with audit.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection by a MAFRA-accredited 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.	Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.	There aren't many Tún-certified operations (~120–160) — coverage in the Icelandic market is narrower than in the EU mainland.
