Does NOT
  • PGS-based — the inspection model is community peer-review rather than third-party. Strong for domestic markets, less recognised by the EU/USA than third-party schemes.
  • Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.
  • Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.
