Does NOT	Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.	Doesn't cover non-textile components (zips, buttons, prints) beyond the chemical-restriction list.	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.	Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).
