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.	Sweden's leading organic mark. Built on the EU 2018/848 baseline plus stricter Swedish add-ons covering animal welfare, climate impact, and social conditions.	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.	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.

Independent peer review of certifier governance, inspection rigor, and conflict-of-interest controls.
Does NOT	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	Mark is trademark-protected.	Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.
