I am not sure of the exact standards but if we did not conform we would not
be able to export. We just recently had inpsections by EU personnel and I
believe we passed.

Australia is looking to produce organic honey but of course there are
different standards in different countries. I personally will not be
looking at this market as I do not have the hives now to produce quantity.
However, I have no problem in eating the honey I produce despite it not
being able to called organic. Good luck to those who want to go to the
effort of producing organic honey.
