Hi there! What's up?
Today I'm gonna tell you more about the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification.
I guess you've heard so many times this word, haven't you?
OEKO-TEX is a worldwide association of independent research and testing institutes for product safety and sustainable production in the textile industry. It was introduced in the early nineties as a response to the demand for textiles that did not pose a risk to health.
To attain Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, each and every component must be tested and certified to be free from harmful substances for human health.
In principle, all textile articles in every stage of processing are suitable for a Standard 100 certification, starting from the threads to the finished fabrics and finished articles.
In the test they take into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances which may be harmful to human health. In many cases the limit values for the Standard 100 go beyond national and international requirements. The criteria catalog is updated at least once a year and expanded with new scientific knowledge or statutory requirements.
For your safety, choose OEKO-TEX labelled products.

Stop F**king The Planet,
Julia.
