  • Annual third-party audit.
  • Lifecycle-based environmental criteria per product category.

Does NOT
  • A single product may carry IBD plus a country-specific organic mark — IBD itself isn't the regulatory mark in any of those markets, just the accredited certifier.

  • Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.
