The Directory of Organic Certifiers is Live
The Organic Certifiers' Directory is a global database for third-party Certification Bodies. It displays detailed information on third-party certifiers such as, the countries where the certification bodies have offices and provide certification/inspection activities, the market approvals they have, the use of private labels (if any) and many others.

It also displays the standards used by the Certification Bodies and whether they offer additional services such as organic input approval, aquaculture certification, or certification to an IFOAM Accredited program.
The focus of this Directory is on third-party certifiers only, and includes both private and public certification bodies. Other certification systems, such as Participatory Guarantee Systems(PGS), are not included. Comprehensive data on PGS initiatives is gathered by IFOAM – Organics International and displayed on its website in the form of a PGS Global Map.
