The record that underpins organic certification
BioJejak turns compost and biofertiliser into a single custody record: from the mill residue that goes in, to the batch that comes out, to the food crop it is spread on.
It does not issue the organic certificate. It issues the traceability the certifier needs to grant one.
Two instruments, kept apart on purpose
Organic certification is a regulated claim. In every market we work in, only a government body or an accredited certification body can issue the certificate that carries the national or EU organic mark. A software platform cannot, and should not pretend to.
What the certificate rests on is a different thing entirely: an auditable chain of custody and a mass balance that reconcile what went in against what came out. That record is what BioJejak builds, holds and attests.
Not BioJejak
The organic certificate
The regulated instrument that lets a product be sold and labelled as organic. Granted after audit, valid for a fixed term, withdrawn on non-compliance.
Issued by accredited certification bodies and competent authorities only.
BioJejak
The traceability record
A tamper-evident custody and mass-balance record for each batch, carrying weights, GPS points and timestamps, localised to the operator's market.
Issued by BioJejak as evidence for the audit, not as the certificate.
Residue to crop, as one unbroken file
The same custody record that already carries husks, shells, empty fruit bunches and factory waste into biogas, compost and biochar is extended one step further: onto the field, and into the organic crop that the compost feeds.
Mill residue in
POME, empty fruit bunches, husks and factory waste, each load captured with weight, geolocation and time.
Compost or biofertiliser
Inputs reconciled to output by mass balance. Feedstock that is not permitted in organic production is blocked, not just logged.
Onto the plot
The batch is recorded against a named field, farm or smallholder group, with rate and date.
To the certifier
The certified operator presents one continuous record to the accredited body at audit.
The record speaks the local scheme
An operator's country is already held in the system, so the record resolves to the home organic regime automatically: the right standard, the right competent authority, the right mark. Where the product is exported, the destination regime is layered on top, and the stricter requirement governs.
| Market | Standard | Who issues the certificate | Mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home regime, resolved from the operator's country | |||
| Malaysia | MS 1529 / myOrganic | Department of Agriculture (DOA) certification committee | Organik Malaysia |
| Indonesia | SNI 6729 | Accredited LSO (accredited by KAN), overseen by OKPO | Organik Indonesia |
| Thailand | TAS 9000-2021 | Certification body accredited by ACFS to ISO/IEC 17065 | Organic Thailand |
| Export overlay, applied when the product leaves the region | |||
| European Union | Reg. (EU) 2018/848 | Control body via TRACES; Certificate of Inspection on import | EU organic leaf |
| United States | USDA NOP | USDA-accredited certifying agent | USDA Organic |
| Japan | JAS | MAFF-registered certifying body | JAS |
Not every residue qualifies
Tracing a feedstock is not the same as proving it is allowed in organic production. The input rules are made of exclusions, and the value of the record is that it enforces them at the batch, before a claim is ever made. The same discipline that separates a genuine mill residue from a diverted product sits underneath this.
-
Blocked
Sewage sludge, prohibited as an input across EU organic production, never reaches a batch that claims organic-input status.
-
Restricted
Manure from industrial, landless livestock is flagged and held to the quantity and sourcing limits the resolved market sets.
-
Carried
Composting process records, pathogen-reduction evidence and heavy-metal limits travel with the batch where the input standard requires them.
-
Checked
Every input is tested against the permitted-fertiliser list of the market the batch is destined for, home or export.
Smallholder groups, made auditable
Organic certification lets a group of farmers certify together through an internal control system. That is exactly where paper breaks down and where a shared custody record is worth most: hundreds of plots, one digital backbone, an audit trail a certifier can sample rather than reconstruct. As ASEAN moves to harmonise its organic schemes for cross-border trade, a record that already carries the local standard travels with the goods.
What the record does and does not say
It asserts
- An unbroken chain of custody from feedstock to field application.
- A mass balance that reconciles inputs to the batch that was produced.
- That each input is eligible under the resolved market's rules.
- Integrity: every entry timestamped, geolocated and tamper-evident.
It does not assert
- That the product is certified organic. Only an accredited body can say that.
- A substitute for the certifier's audit. It is the evidence the audit reads.
- Approval of any mark or logo. Those stay with the competent authority.
Organic certification joins the compliance BioJejak already supports from the same custody file: MSPO, ISPO, RSPO and ISCC chain of custody, EUDR due diligence, and the carbon and certificate claims fed by plant-controller data. One record, every scheme it has to answer to.
