Oeko-Tex textiles are fabrics or materials that meet the requirements of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, an internationally renowned system of ensuring that fabrics/clothing do not contain dangerous levels of chemicals that may prove detrimental to human health. These fabrics/materials are tested for over 1,000 known and unknown chemicals, such as pesticides, heavy metals, and carcinogens.
Manufactured from natural fibers such as organic cotton and synthetic fibers like polyester, Oeko-Tex fabrics are independently laboratory tested and site audited; the limits, of course, are much stricter for a baby's product classification I versus Class IV for decorative items.
Technologies include standardized testing protocols, quality assurance systems, and supply-chain modular certification for annual renewals and compliance that goes beyond the legal requirements.Oeko-Tex Standard certified textiles are used in babywear, bedding, apparel, and home furnishings for consumer safety, skin-friendly assurance, and market trust. Categories include four classes of products according to skin contact intensity, with major products including bedsheets for infants, daily wear underwear, and upholstery for homes that are all certified harmless during prolonged exposure.
