OCS 100 vs OCS Blended: Organic Claims Explained

|Dynamic Knitfabs

Quick Answer

The Organic Content Standard has two labels, based on how much organic material a product contains.

Organic cotton fabric

The Organic Content Standard (OCS) tracks organically grown material, such as organic cotton, from the farm to the final product.

OCS 100

Used for products containing 95% or more organic material.

OCS Blended

Used for products containing at least 5% organic material blended with other fibres.

What OCS does and does not cover

  • It verifies the presence and amount of organic material through the chain
  • It does not by itself set rules on chemicals or social criteria in processing

Tips for brands

  • Match the label to the actual organic percentage
  • Request Transaction Certificates for each order
  • Combine with tests such as OEKO-TEX for chemical safety
