Organic Content Standard 3.0 User Manual

The OCS 3.0 User Manual provides interpretation and guidance for users of the standard while the OCS Certification Procedures details requirements certification bodies must follow. Originally released in 2013, the goal of the OCS is to increase organic agriculture production. The OCS aims to deliver this goal through three key objectives: 1) Provide the industry with a tool to verify the organically grown content of the products they purchase; 2) Provide companies with a trusted tool to communicate organically grown content claims to the industry; 3) Provide organic farmers with broad access to the global organic market for their products.
