What it means	Combined organic + fair-trade + social-responsibility certification. Issued by Ecocert (originally developed by IMOswiss).

Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	Japan's national organic standard under the Japanese Agricultural Standard system. The mark must appear on any food sold as 'organic' (有機 or オーガニック) in Japan.	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.

Mutual recognition with the US, EU, and Canada applies to specific product categories — check each agreement before importing.	Doesn't cover non-textile components (zips, buttons, prints) beyond the chemical-restriction list.
