OEKO-TEX is essentially a certification a brand or manufacturer can apply for to ensure their products don’t contain harmful substances. This certification is just the first step towards being an environmental and socially responsible business.
OEKO-TEX is a third-party certification system that verifies a product is tested for chemicals potentially harmful to humans. Third-party certification is important because it means an independent organization has reviewed the product and determined it complies with specific standards for safety, quality or performance.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 label means every component of the product (trims, zippers, lining, buttons, and threads) has been tested against a list of harmful substances and found safe for human health. This test covers over 100 regulated and non-regulated substances which include pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde.
The materials and end products that are OEKO-TEX certified are in the textile category. But there’s a wide variety of goods within that category that can earn a certification.
The OEKO-TEX certification means the end product and all its components are not dangerous to humans. Products that carry this label have been tested and proven free of harmful toxins.
