OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
Toxins in textiles can harm your health through breathing, skin contact and saliva. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified products are tested for harmful substances to protect your health.
Protecting you and your family. Harmless to your health and the environment
STANDARD 100certified items including every thread, button and accessory are tested against a list of over 1,000 substances that are harmful to your health but also to the environment. We review the limit values for all of them at least once a year.
Globally standardised test criteria
A STANDARD 100 certified item, produced and sold in different parts of the world, always adheres to the same standards, limit values and testing methods. By testing the same samples in different laboratories using the same methods, we create precise comparisons and thus continuously optimise our certification process.
