The certification allows ‘made with organic’ claims for products with organic content of 70% or more that comply with all other requirements of the standard. Products covered by the standard include rinse-off and leave-on personal care and cosmetic products, as well as oral care and personal hygiene products.
The news also enables Quality Assurance International (QAI) to certify and comply to the NSF standard.
“We are very pleased to announced that NSF/ANSI 305 is now an American National Standard,” commented Jane Wilson, NSF standards director. “This ‘made with organic’ ingredients standard reflects the dedicated efforts of the stakeholders’ work and provides the foundation for consistent national voluntary requirements for ‘made with organic’ personal care products.”
