OCS
Organic Content Standard (OCS) is an international, voluntary standard designed to provide chain-of-custody verification for materials sourced from farms certified to recognized national organic standards. It ensures that raw materials, such as cotton or wool, are verified as organically grown and tracked throughout the supply chain to the final product.
Certification is conducted by independent, third-party certification bodies through annual audits. The process follows the requirements outlined in Textile Exchange’s Content Claim Standard (CCS), ensuring transparency and traceability at every stage.
For more information or to apply for certification, businesses can reach out to an approved certification body or visit the Textile Exchange website.
