▌   OCS Certification

The Organic Content Standard (OCS), an organic certification standard launched by the American non-profit organization Textile Exchange, regulates the entire organic industry chain by tracking the cultivation of organic raw materials. Textile Exchange said that OCS will replace the existing OE (Organic Exchange) mixed standard. In addition, OCS will be applied to the verification of various organically grown raw materials, not just organic cotton. The Organic Content Standard (OCS) can be applied to all non-food products containing 5%-100% organic raw materials. This standard can be used to verify the content of organic raw materials in the final product. It can be used to trace from the source of raw materials to the final product and this process is certified by a trusted third-party organization. In the process of completely independent evaluation of the organic content of products, the standard will uphold transparency and consistency. This standard can be used as a business tool between companies to help companies ensure that the products they purchase or pay for meet their requirements.
