OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is an international label that tests textiles for more than 350 harmful substances such as pesticides, plasticisers, formaldehyde and heavy metals. It is a health label, not a sustainability label as such.
What OEKO-TEX tests for
- Pesticides and herbicides.
- Heavy metals (nickel, chromium, lead).
- Formaldehyde.
- Plasticisers (phthalates).
- Chlorophenols and disperse dyes.
- Allergenic and skin-irritating substances.
Four product classes
- Class I: baby products (strictest).
- Class II: products in contact with the skin (T-shirts, underwear).
- Class III: products without skin contact (jackets).
- Class IV: interior textiles (curtains, table linen).
Made in Green: the sustainability version
Made in Green combines OEKO-TEX Standard 100 with social and environmental criteria. For fully certified corporate clothing, it is a complementary label.
