Öko-Tex 100 Standard

Textile and clothing producers are working successfully to design products so that no harmful substances are present in any significant amounts and to achieve this, a significant technological effort is required by the industry.

Manufacturers can work towards this goal by adopting recognized "environmentally friendly" working methods such as careful selection of dye-stuffs, optimization of the dye baths, chlorine free bleaching techniques, low formaldehyde finishing methods and by selecting pesticide and heavy metal free materials. By employing these and other recognized methods, the results of these efforts are safe products, which pose no risk to the consumer.

A label is required for such products; the “Öko-Tex" label.
