IGSO establishes a new generation of agricultural standards where identity, movement, certification, and safety are digitally verifiable, tamper-resistant, and globally readable. These are the definitive protocols.
At a glance
Defining the rules of agricultural trust
Traditional standards are static paper certificates. IGSO standards are dynamic protocols, designed from the ground up to be proven continuously by live data.
Rather than treating trust as an abstract dimension, the six standards are formalized as exact protocol services. They determine the strict rules for what must be authenticated, sensed, and secured across the global supply chain.
The Common Proof Stack
Every IGSO standard is enforced through these 5 layers.
Official Register • IGSO v1.3
The definitive protocols governing authentication, freshness, aging, location, safety, and data space interoperability.
IGSO Standard 01
Every producer must activate their role through IGSO-verified equipment installed at a real, authenticated physical location. Once activated, all labels printed from that device become legally binding digital identities, connecting products to verified origins with zero possibility of fake source claims.
Verification focus
IGSO Standard 02
Freshness begins at the moment the IGSO label is printed (F0), creating a certified, immutable freshness timeline. This supports dynamic pricing, waste reduction, supply chain transparency, and ensures that freshness is no longer subjective, it is digitally certified.
Verification focus
IGSO Standard 03
For products that gain value with time, wine, baijiu, aged tea, and cured goods, IGSO certifies the aging process from the moment the label is applied. Aging becomes authentic, unbroken, verified, and globally recognized, eliminating fake vintages and supporting premium market valuation.
Verification focus
IGSO Standard 04
Every critical movement, from farm, warehouse, wholesale market, retailer, to logistics, must pass through IGSO verification logic. This prevents relabeling, substitution, parallel trading, and location fraud, ensuring products only move through the certified paths defined in their trust journey.
Verification focus
IGSO Standard 05
Safety tests are not controlled by producers. They are activated through distributed participation, submitted by independent third parties, verified by accredited labs, and stored as tokenized safety reports. This creates a decentralized, transparent, community-driven safety governance model, making safety data a public trust asset.
Verification focus
IGSO Standard 06
All product data follows a globally readable, interoperable structure aligned with IGSO Data Space rules and GTIN logic. This ensures products can move seamlessly between domestic and international markets, enabling cross-border compliance, trade readiness, digital auditability, and future RWA/tokenization.
Verification focus
Separating the rules from the infrastructure
These formal standards define the rules. They are the strict requirements determining whether an agricultural product is authentic, safe, and verifiable.
The broader IGSO trust architecture—how these rules are governed, operationalized by hardware, and converted into market value—lives separately within our Strategic Framework. This boundary protects the neutrality of the standards themselves.
Review the Strategic Framework →Why separation matters
By keeping standards separate from infrastructure, IGSO ensures that the rules remain neutral, stable, and globally legible—regardless of which technology vendors or market platforms implement them.
