The Organic Content Standard (OCS) is a Textile Exchange standard that verifies the presence and amount of organically grown material in a product, and tracks it from the source to the final product.
OCS labels
- OCS 100: for products with at least 95% organic material.
- OCS Blended: for products with between 5% and 95% organic material, blended with conventional or synthetic fibres.
What OCS does and does not cover
- It verifies organic content and chain of custody.
- It does not itself set chemical or social requirements for processing; brands that need those often look at additional standards.
Why it matters
Organic claims are easy to make and hard to prove without certification. OCS documentation, including Transaction Certificates, gives brands evidence they can share with retailers and customers.
