Products List and Permitted substances

Question: 

What is the difference between the OMRI Canada Products List© and the OMRI Permitted Substances Categories within the OMRI Canada Standards Manual©?

The OMRI Canada Products List© consists of individual brand name products that have been reviewed by OMRI and confirmed to be compliant with the Canada Organic Regime Standards.

The OMRI Permitted Substances Categories within the OMRI Canada Standards Manual© describes generic substances, such as mined and synthetic micronutrients, that comply with the Canada Organic Regime Standards and the permitted substances lists at CAN/CGSB 32.311.

Brand name products on the OMRI Canada Products List are listed with a specific Use Class and Category corresponding to the Permitted Substances Categories for Canada.
