OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety.
What does the label mean?
If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article, i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health.
The test is conducted by your Centexbel OEKO-TEX® team on the basis of our extensive OEKO-TEX® criteria catalog. In the test we 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.
It is not easy for manufacturers and customers to keep an overview of the legal situation concerning harmful substances every day.
Our OEKO-TEX® team can do this for you.
