OEKO‑TEX Shades – Tested for Harmful Substances
What is OEKO‑TEX STANDARD 100?
OEKO‑TEX STANDARD 100 is a global, independent certification system for textile raw materials, intermediate goods, and finished products at every stage of production. It screens for substances that are legally regulated and chemicals known to be harmful to human health—even those not yet restricted by law. Testing includes:
-
Carcinogenic and allergenic dyes
-
Formaldehyde and other aldehydes
-
Heavy metals — lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium VI
-
Organotin compounds — TBT, DBT
-
Phthalates — plasticizers
-
Pesticides and chlorinated phenols
-
Per‑ and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFOA, PFOS)
Product Classes – From Baby to General Use
STANDARD 100 includes four product classes based on intended use:
-
Class I — Products for babies and toddlers (up to 3 years); strictest limits
-
Class II — Products with direct skin contact (bed linens, shirts)
-
Class III — Products without direct skin contact (jackets, upholstery)
-
Class IV — Furnishing materials (curtains, table linens)
Our OEKO‑TEX fabrics are available in Class I, II, and IV, depending on the material.
