About OEKO TEX
The International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile and Leather Ecology (OEKOTEX®) with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland was founded in 1992. The OEKO-TEX® association consists of 18 independent textile testing and research institutes in Europe and Japan,
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety. If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, every component of this article, i.e., every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. The test is conducted by our independent OEKO-TEX® partner institutes on the basis of our extensive OEKO-TEX® criteria catalog.
