📢 Important Update: GOTS CUS-GOTS Version 4.0 Becomes Mandatory on 1 August 2026

If you use the GOTS Certification Mark, now is the time to prepare.

Beginning 1 August 2026, Conditions for the Use of Signs – GOTS (CUS-GOTS) Version 4.0 becomes mandatory, replacing Version 3.1.

Key reminders:
✅ Use the latest Labelling Release Forms (Version 2.0) for new artwork submissions.
✅ Review the new requirements based on your user category (Certified Entities, Retailers, Registered Traders, or Approved Suppliers).
✅ Ensure off-product marketing materials and on-product labels comply with the updated rules.
✅ Check the updated font guidance and legal compliance requirements before creating new artwork.

As a GOTS Approved Certification Body accredited for Scopes 1, 2, 3, and 4, IDFL is ready to help you navigate these updates and ensure your labels and marketing materials remain compliant.
