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.	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.	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	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.

Does NOT	Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.	Doesn't cover non-textile components (zips, buttons, prints) beyond the chemical-restriction list.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.
