- Login access to online applications and downloadable materials.

- A personalized Company Page where you can edit the list of authorized contacts and public contact information for your company and work on new product applications. Each authorized contact will receive a login.
- Application support for your email and phone application questions.
The specific information required for each application depends on the standards (NOP and/or COR) and Use Class (e.g., Crop Fertilizers and Soil Amendments, Livestock Health Care, Processing Sanitizers and Cleaners) selected in the application. Certain products could qualify as Repackaged Products*, which require a simpler application process. You will choose one of these when you download your application materials from the website.

*A Repackaged Product is a current OMRI Listed® product that is repackaged and marketed under a different product or company name. In order for a product to qualify as a Repackaged Product, a supplier must not be adding ingredients or changing the product in any way, and must either hold the original OMRI listing, be a sub-registrant (pesticide products only), or must purchase the OMRI Listed product directly from the OMRI Listed supplier or authorized distributor.
‡Per National Organic Program (NOP) Guidance 5012, all liquid fertilizers with over 3% nitrogen must undergo an onsite inspection before listing. Once listed, these products must undergo two inspections per year to maintain their listing. Please see the Review Cost Page or contact OMRI for more details.
