What is OEKO-TEX Standard 100?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is an internationally recognized certification that ensures textiles are free from harmful substances and safe for human use. Established by the OEKO-TEX Association, this standard applies to all stages of textile production, from raw materials to finished products.
Certification involves rigorous testing for over 100 harmful substances, including chemicals like formaldehyde, heavy metals, and pesticides. These tests follow strict global criteria, considering various factors such as legal regulations, banned chemicals, and potential health risks.
Products with the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 label guarantee consumers that every component—from fabric to threads and accessories—has been independently tested and certified to be non-toxic and safe. This certification is particularly valuable for industries producing baby clothing, bedding, and other products that come into close contact with sensitive skin.
Obtaining OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification signals a commitment to consumer safety and sustainability. It appeals to environmentally conscious consumers who prioritize health and eco-friendly choices. Many brands, manufacturers, and retailers use this certification to enhance product appeal and trustworthiness. With rising awareness of environmental issues and chemical safety, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification helps textile companies demonstrate their dedication to quality and safe production practices, thereby strengthening their brand reputation and meeting the growing demand for safer, eco-friendly textile products.
