(1) Registration with the department and listing of a material on the brand name materials list is voluntary. While registration is not required for a material to be used or sold in this state, registration is necessary for a material to be included on the department's organic input material list.

(2) The listing of a material on the organic input material list under this chapter does not guarantee acceptance for use in organic production, processing, or handling by organic certifying agents other than the department. The department is not liable for any losses or damage that occurs as a result of use of a material listed on the organic input material list.
