4  UKROFS is the Control Authority for Organic Standards in the UK and also runs a scheme for the direct registration of operators. Back
5  The identifying code of the certifier must be used in the labelling of certified organic products; for example: "Organic Certification: UK1". This does not prevent the use of the name, initials or logo of the certifier being used in addition. A number has not been allocated to Food Certification (Scotland) Ltd because although there are recognised private standards (as allowed by EC Regulations) fish products are not yet covered by EC rules. Back
