D2 - Sample Documents

Box 15

This box is to be used to point out:

• the fact that all of the organic fibres used meet the certification requirement of a specific country to refer

to them as organic. Note that for TCs issued to buyers in countries where the organic fibre production and

certification must be based on a specific organic farming standard (e.g. in the US, Canada, China, Brazil) before

textile products can be advertised and sold with an ‘organic’ reference (to the fibres used), compliance

with this legal requirement must be mentioned. For the US the following confirmation is to be provided:

“All of the organic fibres used for the products listed on this certificate are certified to NOP”. Equivalent

statements are to be provided for other countries concerned.

• the fact that the products listed meet specific legal labelling requirements of a country (e.g. relevant

for the US: “the GOTS certification and corresponding labelling of the listed products complies with the

requirements of the USDA NOP policy dated 20th May 2011 for products that are labelled as “organic” or

“made with organic”)

• any other declaration or restriction relevant to the certification and labelling of the fibres and products

listed
