The commitments of our partners:
OEKO-TEX®
If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be sure that every component of this article, i.e. every yarn, button and other accessory, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article is therefore harmless to human health. The test is carried out by our independent OEKO-TEX® partner institutes on the basis of our extensive OEKO-TEX® criteria catalogue. The test takes into account many regulated and non-regulated substances that may be harmful to human health. In many cases, the STANDARD 100 limit values go beyond national and international requirements. The criteria catalogue is updated at least once a year and supplemented by new scientific knowledge or legal requirements. It is not easy for manufacturers and customers to keep an overview of the legal situation regarding harmful substances on a daily basis. Our experts from the OEKO-TEX® Institutes will take care of this for you.
