Norquest is an OCS (Organic Content Standard) certified manufacturer of organic cotton bags, supplying brands, retailers and buying houses in 62+ countries. OCS independently verifies how much organically grown cotton is in your bag and traces it through every stage - so your organic claim is backed by a Transaction Certificate for each order, not just stated. We were one of the early adopters of organic-content certification in India.

The Organic Content Standard, managed by Textile Exchange, verifies the amount of organically grown material in a product and tracks it through the supply chain - through an annual third-party audit and a Transaction Certificate for each order.
Buyers often confuse these. They verify different things.
Norquest holds OCS, GOTS and GRS, so you can specify verified organic content (OCS), full organic processing (GOTS), or recycled content (GRS) - each with a Transaction Certificate.
Two checks separate a real organic claim from an unverifiable one. Ask any supplier for both.
The supplier must hold a valid OCS Scope Certificate in their own name, from an accredited certification body. No supplier can claim OCS organic content without one.
The scope certificate is necessary but not sufficient. Each individual order should be accompanied by a TC confirming the organic content of that specific order.
We share our OCS scope certificate on request, and issue a Transaction Certificate for each order.
What verified organic content lets you say.
“Made with OCS-certified organic cotton”
“Verified organic content, with chain-of-custody documentation”
“Third-party audited organic content, with a Transaction Certificate for every order”
We provide the OCS scope certificate on request and a Transaction Certificate for each order - for your marketing team, your ESG reports and your procurement records.

Yes – we supply OCS-certified organic cotton bags to buyers in the US, UK, EU, Australia and Canada, with the organic-claim documentation importers need.
It means the organic content and its traceability are independently verified – a claim you can stand behind, not just a label. Many manufacturers claim organic cotton, but without OCS certification and a Transaction Certificate there is no way to be sure.
OCS covers the full chain of custody – from the certified organic input through every processing stage to the finished bag. We certify the finished bags, not only the fabric.
OCS verifies organic content and traceability only; GOTS additionally certifies the environmental and social criteria of processing (chemicals, wastewater, labour). A key point of difference: GOTS is only available when organic content is at least 70% (“made with organic”) or 95%+ (“organic”). So a blend such as 70% Lyocell and 30% organic cotton will not meet GOTS, whereas OCS will certify and confirm the 30% organic cotton content. Norquest holds both.
Both use the same chain-of-custody model. OCS verifies organically grown content; GRS verifies recycled content. Norquest holds both.
Ask for the supplier’s OCS scope certificate from an accredited certification body and check it on the register. We provide ours on request.
Yes – we issue a separate OCS Transaction Certificate for each order, alongside our scope certificate, so your organic claim is documented end-to-end.
