Organic sector invited to submit requests for modifications to the Canadian Organic Standards (COS)

COS Review for all

The Review of the COS is underway and it is exhaustive: all sections of the organic standards have to be revised. The review exercise will take 2 years, and the objective is to publish the fully revised standard in 2015.

 

After having held a first meeting to address issues already listed on the permanent work list, the members of the Technical Committee and the Conveners of the Working groups responsible for the standard’s review are ready to hear the sector’s concerns about the Canadian standard. To do so, please fill out and submit the CGSB form to describe the modification that you are proposing and provide adequate background information. Without this basic information, your request cannot be considered by the WGs or the Technical Committee.
