I. Transitional period issues for the old and new versions of the organic product certification mark. According to the requirements of the Announcement on Launching the National Organic Product Certification Mark Filing System (Announcement No. 9 of 2012 of the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China), for old-version organic product certification marks already obtained from certification bodies before March 1, 2012, or product packaging already printed with the old-version organic product certification mark, continued use is prohibited after July 1, 2012 (including July 1). If use is truly necessary, it may continue only after being sorted out and made compliant with the new requirements for the use of the organic product certification mark. For old-version organic product certification marks obtained before March 1, 2012, or product packaging already printed with the old-version organic product certification mark that had already been used, and for organic products already ex-factory and sold before July 1, 2012, the use of the organic product certification mark shall comply with the requirements of the Implementation Rules for Organic Product Certification and the National Standard for Organic Products issued in 2005. Organic products ex-factory and sold after July 1, 2012 (including July 1) must comply with the new requirements for the use of the organic product certification mark.บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11387/
