WHAT IS OEKO-TEX® STANDARDS 100?
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 was formulated by the OEKO-TEX International Environmental Textile Association in 1992. There are now 17 testing associations whose main task is to test harmful substances in textiles to determine the safety. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is now the most widely used textile eco-mark in 60 countries. The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 stipulates a standard based on the latest scientific knowledge to set limits on the content of harmful substances in yarns, fibers and various textiles. Only manufacturers that provide provable quality guarantees in accordance with strict testing and inspection procedures are allowed to use the OEKO-TEX label on their products. The Oeko-Tex® 100 standard textile and textile hazardous substance detection mark has become the world's leading ecological mark.
