What is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is a label for textiles tested for harmful substances, issued and applied by the Hohenstein Institute (Germany) and the Institute für Oekologie, Technik und Innovation ÖTI (Austria).
Products that meet the Oeko-Tex 100 standard undergo testing against more than 100 criteria, including the concentration of formaldehyde, pesticides, extractable heavy metals, organic chlorinated compounds, and preservatives such as tetra- and pentachlorophenol. Passing this rigorous testing confirms that the products are free of harmful substances, ensuring human health and environmental safety.

How to Verify OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 has become the gold standard for businesses looking to prove their products are safe for consumers. But here’s the catch—it’s not easy to get, and once you do, you have to renew it every year. Because of this, fake certificates are popping up everywhere, trying to trick consumers.
