The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is an independent testing and certification system for textile raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of production.

 

Examples for items eligible for certification:

​

Raw and dyed/finished yarns, raw and dyed/finished fabrics and knits, ready-made articles (all types of clothing, domestic and household textiles, bed linen, terry cloth items, textile toys and more).

 

Testing for harmful substances includes:

​

• illegal substances

• legally regulated substances

• known harmful (but not legally regulated) chemicals

• as well as parameters for health care

 

In their entirety the requirements clearly exceed existing national legislation.

 

Laboratory tests and product classes

 

OEKO-TEX® testing for harmful substances always focus on the actual use of the textile.

The more intensive the skin contact of a product, the stricter the human ecological requirements to be met.
