Welcome to International Certification Services, Inc.
International Certification Services, Inc. has been providing organic certification services since 1980. Conceived in 1979 as Farm Verified Organic (FVO), ICS was one of the first organic certification agencies and still operates its original FVO program, in addition to the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) and other sustainable programs.
ICS offers several programs to help you with your organic and sustainable certification.
USDA National Organic Program (NOP): to market your product as organic in the United States, you must be certified to this program (certain exemptions apply).
Canadian Organic Regime: ICS is accredited by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to certify organic products, under the Organic Products Regulations, 2009, in Canada
New Producer Application deadline for 2010 is June 15th. If you're considering certification for 2011 and have any questions, please contact our office.
