What it means	South Korea's national organic mark under MAFRA (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs). Required on any food sold as 유기농 in Korea.	Norway's only accredited organic certifier. The Ø-merket is required on any food sold as 'økologisk' in Norway. Operates to EU 2018/848 equivalence plus Norwegian add-ons.	An EU-based natural-and-organic cosmetics certification. Three grades: Natural, Natural with Organic portion, and Organic.	France's national organic mark, owned by the Ministry of Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on virtually all French organic packaging.

Does NOT	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.	Mark is trademark-protected.	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.
