STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is a worldwide consistent, independent testing and certification system for raw,
semi-finished, and finished textile products at all processing levels, as well as accessory materials used.
On the basis of its comprehensive and strict list of requirements, comprising several hundreds of regulated individual
substances, the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® takes account of:
• Important legal regulations regarding azo colourants, formaldehyde, pentachlorophenol, cadmium, nickel, etc;
• Numerous harmful chemicals, dangerous for health, even if they are not yet regulated by law;
• The requirements of Annexes XVII and XIV of the European Chemicals Regulation REACH as well as of the
ECHA SVHC Candidate List insofar as they are assessed by the OEKO-TEX® Expert Group to be relevant for
fabrics, textiles, garments or accessories.
Following discussions and developments that are considered relevant, the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® requirements
are updated as quickly and effectively as possible;
• Requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) for lead;
• Numerous classes of substances that are also relevant for the environment.
