AS 6000 - Organic and biodynamic products

Australia’s Domestic Organic Standard. Certification to AS6000 does not allow you to export your product. In fact, no product, either in part or in full, that is certified to AS6000, can be in an exported product. It is purely for sale within Australia and must be sold direct to consumer.

The National Standard for Organic & Biodynamic Produce

Australia’s Export Organic Standard. Certification to the National Standard (NS) allows you to sell product in any market within Australia and into all Non Regulated Markets outside Australia. This is by far, the most popular organic certification in Australia.

SXC Certified Regenerative

The Certified Regenerative Standard was created to fill the actual or perceived gaps in the current organic standards. The current standards only provide a framework for organic production that occurs above ground. No organic Standard addresses the basic issues of soil health, soil nutrition or soil organic carbon levels that occur below the surface. The SXC Certified Regenerative standard aims to enhance soil health and the soils biological cycles, as well as maintaining or improving the fertility and biological function of soils.
