OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, Product label for textiles and accessories

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is the most well-known and widespread brand in the world, therefore also the world's leading label for textiles, accessories and products tested regarding content of harmful substances. Do you want to convey that your products are safe to use regarding harmful substances? RISE helps you with the certification.

Purpose

An OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification means that the product meets high human ecological requirements, i.e. does not contain chemicals at levels that are harmful to the health.

You get to label your products with one of the world’s most recognized and widely used labels for textiles.
The independent evaluation of leading OEKO-TEX® Institutes represents a strong confidence measure for your materials and products.
The STANDARD 100 certificate may be the key to new business partnerships since the criteria of the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 are often the basis of Restricted Substances Lists (RSLs) of retail chains, producers etc.
A network of over 10,000 companies around the world make it easier for you to select raw materials and business partners along the textile chain.

Method

Certification from fiber to Product
Certificates can be issued for products from all the different stages of the textile chain: fibers, yarns, raw fabrics, dyed and treated textiles, accessories (buttons, zippers, labels, etc.) as well as finished end products. Commission dyeing and finishing can also be certified.
The tests are only performed at one of the prestigious and renowned textile research and test institutes connected to the Oeko-Tex® Association. RISE is the only institute in Sweden and Norway authorized to certify according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
