Organic handling under Regulation (EU) 2018/848
TS LAB d.o.o. makes dietary supplements in capsules in Komenda, Slovenia, and states certified organic product handling. Check the current certificate for the responsible control body, covered activities and validity, then match those details against the public register.
Who certifies TS LAB for organic, and under which rule?
Organic production and the labelling of organic products in the EU are governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/848. An operator that processes or handles organic products has to be under the control of a control body, and TS LAB states certified organic product handling with its organic seal linked to KON-CERT, the Slovenian institute for inspection and certification in agriculture and forestry in Maribor.
What the control body code is
The code of the control body has to appear in the same visual field as the EU organic logo. It has the form country ISO code, a three letter term such as BIO, EKO or ORG, and a reference number of up to three digits. KON-CERT carries the code SI-EKO-001 as a Slovenian control body. This identifies KON-CERT; it does not establish that KON-CERT is the current control body for TS LAB. Confirm the operator’s control body and code on its current certificate.
The correction worth making
Organic certification is per operator and per scope, not per company as a whole. A plant can be certified for organic handling of certain products and still fill non organic products on the same lines. Organic certified manufacturer without a scope statement tells a buyer nothing usable, so read the scope line, not the seal.
Check this one yourself
The Slovenian Ministry of Agriculture runs a public search of organic certificates issued by the Slovenian control bodies, where a certificate is found by certificate number or by operator name and the document can be downloaded. That is a third party check, not our word, and it is the reason this page exists in this form.
What does it cover, and what does it not cover?
An organic certificate covers defined activities inside a defined scope, under annual control. It says nothing about the finished product of a brand owner.
What it covers
That the certified operator handles, processes, packs and stores organic products in line with Regulation (EU) 2018/848 inside a defined scope, under annual control by the named body, with separation and traceability of organic lots.
What it does not cover
The organic status of a customer own ingredients where the customer supplies them, the right to use the EU organic logo on a finished product, which depends on that product composition and labelling, and any claim about quality or potency. It is also not a food safety standard, so it does not stand in for GMP or HACCP.
Why do brand buyers ask for organic certification?
Because a finished product cannot be labelled organic unless the handling operator is itself certified. Organic Supplements is one of the twelve product categories TS LAB publishes, so for that category the certificate is the entry condition rather than a nicety.
Brands with an organic line
Without a certified handling operator the line cannot carry the EU organic logo at all. The scope line and the control body code decide whether your specific product form is inside or outside.
Retail private label and drugstore buyers
These buyers run on documented supply chains. dm, for example, publishes traceability in the supply chain as a stated requirement for its own brand supply, and organic documentation is read as part of that.
Distributor and pharmacy channels
Here organic is a positioning lever rather than an entry condition, so it belongs in a specification with a named scope rather than in a headline.
Say what the scope excludes
A buyer who discovers an exclusion after the offer treats the whole page as marketing. So the scope line, including what it does not cover, goes into the specification for your project before the first production run, not after it.
How do I verify the organic certificate?
Search the public register using the operator name or certificate number. Match the legal entity, covered activities and validity against the current document. The table identifies the details to confirm for TS LAB.

The code goes next to the logo, by law
If your finished product carries the EU organic logo, the code of the control body has to appear in the same visual field as that logo. This is a labelling rule, not a design preference, and it is one of the first things a national authority checks on an organic supplement label.
What does TS LAB publish with your order?
The certificate answers for the operator. An organic order is answered lot by lot. A Certificate of Analysis, or COA, is the laboratory result sheet for one production batch, read against the specification that batch was released to.
With the offer and with the batch
- Finished-batch Certificate of Analysis, where included in the agreed testing scope
- Product specification the batch is released against
- Organic documentation for each incoming organic lot, with the supplier control body
- Copy of the organic certificate, with control body, certificate number, scope and valid until
- On site audit at Obrtna cona Potok pri Komendi 14, 1218 Komenda, Slovenia
Where to read more
Organic is a handling scheme, not a food safety scheme, so it is read next to the other two. See the GMP page and the HACCP page, and the vegan page if the same product also carries a vegan mark.

Questions buyers ask about organic
Can TS LAB make organic capsule supplements?
TS LAB states certified organic product handling and lists Organic Supplements among its product categories. Organic certification runs per operator and per scope, so the question to settle in writing is which activities and which product groups sit inside the certified scope for your project.
Who certifies TS LAB for organic production?
TS LAB publishes organic product handling among its certifications and links its organic seal to KON-CERT Maribor. Ask for TS LAB’s current certificate to confirm the responsible control body, operator details, covered activities and validity. The control-body code alone does not identify or verify TS LAB’s certificate.
Can I check the organic certificate myself?
The Slovenian Ministry of Agriculture provides an organic certificate search by operator name or certificate number. Match any result to TS LAB’s legal entity and check the activities, product groups and validity. Ask for the current certificate if you cannot find a matching record.
Does your organic certificate make my finished product organic?
No. An operator’s organic certificate covers only the activities and product groups specified in it. Confirm that TS LAB’s current scope covers your project. Whether the finished product may carry the EU organic logo also depends on its composition and labelling, including the applicable control-body code.
Do my raw materials also have to be organic certified?
Materials described as organic need the relevant certification and traceability records. The finished formulation must also meet the applicable organic composition rules, including restrictions on any permitted non-organic ingredients, additives and processing aids. Review the complete formula with the control body before approving an organic label.
