	Naturland Germany · Tier 2 Trusted	India Organic (NPOP) India · Tier 1 Gold	IFM IFOAM — Organics International Global · Tier 2 Trusted	Global Organic Textile Standard Global · Tier 2 Trusted
What it means	A German farmers' association whose private organic standard is stricter than the EU baseline. Covers food, aquaculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Recognised globally.	India's national organic mark under the National Programme for Organic Production. Administered by APEDA; required on any food exported as organic and increasingly on domestic packaging.	The international umbrella body for the organic movement. Not a product label — IFOAM accredits other certifiers worldwide via the IFOAM Family of Standards. If a cert is 'IFOAM-accredited' it has been benchmarked to a globally consistent baseline.	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.
Scope	Several categories	Food	Several categories	Textiles
Established	1982	2001	1972	2002
Inspection	Annual on-site by Naturland-accredited inspectors	Annual on-site by APEDA-accredited certifier	Periodic review of accredited certifier bodies	Annual on-site, IOAS-accredited
Residue testing	Required	Required for export shipments	Delegated to accredited certifiers	Required for finished products
Guarantees	Stricter than EU 2018/848 (lower nitrogen inputs, full-farm conversion, social standards). Annual on-site inspection. Fair-pricing requirements for member farmers.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual third-party certification.	Accredited certifiers meet the IFOAM Norms and the IFOAM Family of Standards. Independent peer review of certifier governance, inspection rigor, and conflict-of-interest controls.	≥70% certified-organic natural fibre (the 'organic' grade requires ≥95%). Restricted dyes, no chlorine bleach, no formaldehyde, no banned heavy metals. Wastewater treatment requirements. Social standards based on ILO core conventions (no child labour, no forced labour, fair wages, safe workplace). Annual on-site inspection by IOAS-accredited certifier.
Does NOT	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	Domestic-only sales can also use FSSAI's 'Jaivik Bharat' mark — if you see only 'Jaivik Bharat' without 'India Organic', the supply chain may be PGS-India rather than NPOP-accredited.	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.	Doesn't cover non-textile components (zips, buttons, prints) beyond the chemical-restriction list.
