OSE Certification

OSE is considering a certification system that will be used to document certain qualities of products and enterprises that comply with the values of OSE. OSE Certified is a label which OSE is developing, which is intended to be a transparent label. This label will define the elements of OSE Specifications that a product or enterprise contains, akin to the 'ingredients label' on food items.
