Product safety

What STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® covers

OEKO-TEX® is an international association of independent textile and leather testing and research institutes. Its STANDARD 100 certification tests textile products for harmful substances, considering both legally regulated substances and, in certain cases, substances that are not yet regulated but are relevant to textile safety.

The requirements apply to every component of a certified article, not only the main fabric. Testing requirements vary with the product class and how closely the textile comes into contact with skin. Check an OEKO-TEX® label.

Components tested in a certified article

  • Main fabric
  • Yarns and sewing threads
  • Prints and dyes
  • Buttons and zippers
  • Labels
  • Trims and other accessories

Responsible sourcing

Organic, sustainable cotton and supply-chain certifications support responsible production from fibre to finished linen.

Consistent quality

A certified quality management system supports the same standard across every order and repeat order.
