What it means	The UK's largest organic certifier. Standards are stricter than the UK government's baseline (which still mirrors EU 2018/848 post-Brexit). Recognised by the EU and USA under equivalence.	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	Argentina's national organic mark under SENASA (National Food Safety and Quality Service). Implemented as a label in December 2012 under Law 25.127 (1999).	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	Logo is trademarked — not a free-licence mark.	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Domestic recognition only — exports use the buyer's national mark (USDA, EU Leaf) under equivalence.	Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.
