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.
