OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a testing and certification system developed by OEKO TEX in Zürich, Switzerland. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 incorporates REACH, California Proposition 65, and other substance restrictions in the EU and US.
Suppliers
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is fairly common among garment manufacturers. It is a good sign if a supplier can provide OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificates for their materials. This indicates that the supplier can produce garments that comply with EU, UK, and US compliance requirements.
However, keep in mind that most suppliers cannot provide certification for all the materials.
Testing
You can also opt to have your product tested according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
