Certified Fabric Sourcing: Documents Brands Should Request

|Dynamic Knitfabs

Quick Answer

A certified claim is only as good as its paperwork. Here is what to ask for.

Certified recycled fabric

When a brand sells a product as recycled or organic, it needs evidence that holds up to buyers and auditors.

Key documents

  • Scope Certificate (SC): shows the supplier is certified for the standard, products and processes.
  • Transaction Certificate (TC): covers a specific shipment and confirms the certified content in it.
  • Test reports: such as OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 for harmful substances.

Check before you order

  • Is the certificate valid and in date?
  • Does the scope cover the fabric and process you are buying?
  • Can the supplier issue a TC for your order?

Traceability

Digital platforms such as TextileGenesis record certified fibre through each stage, which adds another layer of proof.
