Short answer: OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 is an independent certification showing that every component of a textile has been tested for harmful substances and meets limits for human health. It is one of the most widely recognised textile safety labels.
What is tested
Tests cover substances that are regulated or known to be harmful, such as certain azo dyes, formaldehyde, heavy metals, pesticides and other chemicals. Limits are updated regularly.
Product classes
- Class I: articles for babies and toddlers, with the strictest limits
- Class II: articles worn close to the skin
- Class III: articles with little or no skin contact
- Class IV: decoration and furnishing materials
How to verify a certificate
Every certificate has a number. Enter it in the official OEKO-TEX label check to confirm the holder, scope and validity.
What it does not cover
- It does not prove recycled or organic content (use GRS, RCS or OCS)
- It is about the finished textile's safety, not factory social conditions
