The German Bio-Siegel is an additional way for German companies to label products as organic. The trademark owner of the German Bio-Siegel is the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food (BMEL).
The requirements for the use of the label are the same as those of the EU Organic Regulation.
Labelling with the EU organic logo (leaf on green background) is mandatory, use of the Bio-Siegel (hexagon) is voluntary.
However, all products that are to be labeled with the German Bio-Siegel must be registered with the Bio-Siegel Information Office prior to market launch.

The use of the Bio-Siegel for advertising purposes is possible and encouraged. It is not subject to mandatory notification.
