OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) Certification Services
OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) certification is a certification program that verifies that a product or input used in organic farming or production meets the organic standards set by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) National Organic Program (NOP). The certification process involves a thorough evaluation of the product’s ingredients, manufacturing processes, and labeling to ensure they comply with organic regulations. Products that are OMRI-certified can be used in organic farming and production without compromising the organic status of the operation. The OMRI certification program is widely recognized and trusted by organic farmers, producers, and consumers in the United States and internationally.
The OMRI evaluation process involves a thorough review of a product's ingredients, manufacturing process, and labeling to ensure that it meets the organic standards set by the USDA National Organic Program (NOP).
The OMRI Evaluation Process Typically Includes The Following Steps:
- Application Review: The first step in the evaluation process is a review of the product's application by OMRI staff. The application includes information about the product's ingredients, manufacturing process, and labeling.
- Product Testing: OMRI may conduct product testing to verify that the product meets organic standards. Testing may include analysis of the product's ingredients and verification that the product does not contain prohibited substances.
- Site Inspection: OMRI may conduct a site inspection to verify that the product is manufactured in compliance with organic standards. The site inspection may include a review of production records, manufacturing processes, and storage and handling procedures.
- Review by Technical Advisory Committee: The OMRI Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) reviews the application, testing results, and site inspection report to ensure that the product meets organic standards. The TAC is made up of experts in the fields of organic farming, product formulation, and organic standards.
- Certification Decision: Based on the results of the application review, product testing, site inspection, and TAC review, OMRI will make a certification decision. If the product meets organic standards, it will be OMRI listed, and the producer will be able to use the OMRI logo on their product labeling and marketing materials.
The OMRI evaluation process is designed to ensure that products meet the organic standards set by the USDA NOP. OMRI certification is widely recognized and trusted by organic farmers, producers, and consumers in the United States and internationally.
It's important to note that OMRI certification is an ongoing process, and certified products must be re-evaluated annually to ensure continued compliance with organic standards.
