Organic products are products coming from such a production system, and which are processed etc.
To be able to verify and certify that a product is organic, methods have been developed by organic certification programs during more than 20 years. Later years these methods are also implemented by authorities and regulations. These methods are based on physical inspection of the production methods, records, crops, animals, storages etc. By analysing all the gathered data, the adherence to the standards can be assessed. Chemical analysis are only included as spotchecks, or taken by direct suspiscion,making chemical analysis only a marginal method for organic agriculture certification.
