3.1 organic production
A form of agricultural production that, according to the specific production principles,
it does not use genetically engineered organisms and their products in production, not
use chemically synthesized pesticides, fertilizers, growth regulators, feed additives and
other substances, follows natural laws and ecological principles, coordinates the
balance between planting and aquaculture, maintains the continuous and stable
production system.
3.2 organic processing
A processing method that mainly uses organic ingredients, not use genetically
engineered organisms and their products in the processing process, minimizes the use
of chemically synthesized additives, processing aids, dyes and other inputs, and
maximizes the preservation of product nutrients and/or original attributes.
3.3 organic product
The product that is organically produced, organically processed for human consumption
and animal consumption.
NOTE: In this Standard, “organic” may be marked before the name of specific organic products or
product categories, such as organic seeds, organic sprouts, organic ingredients.
3.4 conversion period
The period from the start of organic production until the production unit and the product
are certified organic.
3.5 parallel production
Concurrent production of the same or indistinguishable organic, transitional or
conventional products in the same production unit.
3.6 buffer zone
A purposefully defined, clearly defined transition zone between organic and
conventional plots to limit or block the drift of prohibited substances from adjacent
4.1.5.1 Organic producer shall select and implement cultivation and/or aquaculture
management practices, so as to maintain or improve soil physicochemical and
biological properties, reduce soil erosion, and protect the health of plants and farmed
animals.
4.1.5.2 When cultivation and/or aquaculture management practices are insufficient to
maintain soil fertility and ensure plant and farmed animal health, and the use of inputs
outside the production unit is required, the inputs listed in Annex A and Annex B shall
be used and used in accordance with the specified conditions.
In the case that the substances used for soil fertilization and improvement, plant
protection, and animal breeding in organic production are not met in Annex A and
Annex B, the use of inputs other than Annex A and Annex B in organic agriculture can
be assessed with reference to the assessment guidelines described in Annex C.
4.1.5.3 The active ingredients of the compound preparation as a plant protection product
shall be the substances listed in Table A.2. Carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic and
neurotoxic substances shall not be used as adjuvants.
4.1.5.4 Chemically synthesized plant protection products shall not be used.
4.1.5.5 Chemically synthesized fertilizers and municipal sewage sludge shall not be
used.
4.1.5.6 Prohibited substances in organic production shall not be detected in organic
products.
4.2 Plant production
4.2.1 Conversion period
4.2.1.1 The conversion period for annuals is at least 24 months before sowing. The
conversion period for pasture and perennial forage crops is at least 24 months prior to
harvest of organic forage. The conversion period for perennials other than forage crops
is at least 36 months before harvest.
4.2.1.2 Newly cultivated land that has been abandoned for more than 36 months or has
sufficient evidence to prove that the prohibited substances in this Standard have not

least 12 months.
4.2.1.3 The conversion period of plots contaminated by substances prohibited in this
Standard can be extended.
4.2.1.4 For parcels that have been converted or are in the process of conversion, if
prohibited substances are used, the conversion shall be restarted. When the prohibited
substances used in the plot are compulsorily used by local government agencies to deal
with certain diseases or insect pests, the conversion period specified in...
