2、this standard has been developed, is a government directorate within Public Services and Procurement Canada. CGSB is engaged in the production of voluntary standards in a wide range of subject areas through the media of standards committees and the consensus process. The standards committees are com
3、posed of representatives of relevant interests including producers, consumers and other users, retailers, governments, educational institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by
4、 such representatives. CGSB has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as a national Standards Development Organization. The standards that CGSB develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the requirements and guidance established for this purpose by the Standards Coun
5、cil of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as National Standards of Canada, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are developed in conforman
6、ce with the policies described in the CGSB Policy and Procedures Manual for the Development and Maintenance of Standards. CGSB standards are subject to review and revision to ensure that they keep abreast of technological progress. CGSB will review and publish this standard on a schedule not to exce
7、ed five years from the date of publication. Suggestions for their improvement, which are always welcome, should be brought to the notice of the standards committees concerned. Changes to standards are issued either as separate amendment sheets, amended standards or in new editions of standards. An u

The principal goal of organic production is to develop operations that are sustainable and harmonious with the environment.This standard1desc
24、ribes the principles and management standards of organic production systems, and provides lists of substances that are allowed for use in organic production systems.As is the case with all products sold in Canada, organic inputssuch as, but not limited to, fertilizers, feed supplements, pesticides,
25、soil and water amendments, veterinary treatments, processing additives or aids, sanitizing and cleaning materialand products derived from organic production, such as, but not limited to, feed and food, should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.II. General principles of organic produc
26、tionOrganic production is based on the following general principles2,3.Principle of health Organic production should sustain and enhance the health of water, soil, plants, animals, humans and the planet as one and indivisible.Principle of ecology Organic production should be based on living ecologic
27、al systems and cycles, work with them, emulate them and help sustain them.Principle of fairness Organic production should build on relationships that ensure fairness with regard to the common environment and life opportunities.Principle of care Organic production should be managed in a precautionary
28、 and responsible manner to protect the health and well-being of current and future generations and the environment.III. Organic practicesNeither this standard nor organic products in accordance with this standard represent specific claims about the healthiness, safety and nutrition of such organic p
29、roducts.Management methods are carefully selected in order to restore and then sustain ecological stability within the operation and the surrounding environment. Biological stability is maintained and enhanced by promoting optimal biological activity within the production unit and the surrounding ar
30、ea. Weeds, pests and diseases are managed using biological and mechanical control methods, crop selection and rotation, recycling of plant and animal residues, water management, augmentation of beneficial organisms for the promotion of biological diversity, and ecologically based pest management.Und
31、er a system of organic production, livestock are provided with living conditions and space allowances appropriate to their behavioural requirements and organically produced feed. These practices strive to minimize stress, promote good health and prevent disease.1 References throughout this document
