“Approved Input Standard by Control Union” covers the requirements to be met by the commercially marketed input products to be used suitably for the Organic Production or Processing based on Regulation (EC) No 2018/848, in particular Annexes I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and VIIIa of its implementing Regulation, (EU) No 1165/2021 (Reg. (EC) 834/2007 repealed by Reg. (EU) 2018/848; Reg. (EC) 889/2007 repealed by Reg. (EU) No 1165/2021) Regulations.

Benefits:
- Independent confirmation that an input meets the requirements of an organic certification programme
- This program enables input manufacturers to reassure their customers that their pre-approved products can be used in organic systems and saves organic producers and processors the trouble of checking the status of the products individually.
- It benefits the farmers to use an input based on its status as per the organic regulations
-Other certifiers need not investigate compliance for inputs that have already been approved by a reliable Conformity assessment body.
