Since 1992, the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 has become an international benchmark for safety all along the textile chain. Today over 6000 companies in the textile and clothing industry around the world are involved in the Oeko-Tex certification network. With over 45,000 certificates issued for millions of textile products, the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 has become the world's leading label for textiles screened for harmful substances.

The Oeko-Tex system assures that textiles which have been tested successfully and awarded a certificate are free of concentrations of harmful substances which are detrimental to health.
