What is the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100?

• Independent testing and

certification for textiles

tested for harmful substances

• Legal compliance worldwide

• Flexible & up to date:

The RSL is adapted to new

requirements and production

methods on a regular basis

• Pesticides

• Perfluorinated compounds (PFHpA, PFNA, PFDA, PFUdA, PFDoA, etc.)

• Allergenic disperse dyes Legally banned &

regulated substances

• Total content of cadmium resp. lead

Additional harmful substances

• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

• Extractable heavy metals e.g. As, Hg, Pb, etc.

• Chlorinated phenols (TeCP, TrCP, DCP, MCP)

• Chlorinated benzenes and toluenes

• Solvent residues (NMP, DMAc, DMF, Formamide)

• PFOS, PFOA

• Flame retardant products (e.g. TRIS, TEPA, among others)

• SCCP and TCEP

• Organotin compounds (TBT, TPhT, DBT, DOT)

• Biologically active and flame retardant products are regulated separately

Changes in 2016

• Emission of volatile components

• Surfactant-, wetting agent residues: Nonylphenol- and Octylphenol ethoxylates; Nonylphenol and Octylphenol

Product quality • Skin friendly pH value

• Colour fastness

• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

• UV stabilizers

• Organotin compounds (10 additional substances)

New OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 criteria 2016

• Phthalates/softener

• Formaldehyde

• Chlorinated phenols – PCP

• Carcinogenic dyes/colourants

• Banned Azo colourants

• Heavy metals e.g. nickel, chromium(VI) • Dimethyl fumarate (DMFu)

13

What does the certification include?

• Realistic risk assessment of potentially harmful substances in

textiles by: • Inclusion of legal requirements

• Scientifically sound criteria and test methods

• Use-oriented testing

• Using a uniform set of criteria (RSL) for the analysis

of harmful substances

• Quality assurance via spot audits

• Sample picks of goods placed on the market

ECO PASSPORT: Two Stage Verification System

OEKO-TEX® comprehensive certification

system for chemical substances and

products including raw chemicals, colorants

and auxiliaries

Includes a two stage MRSL/ RSL

verification process:

• Stage I: Compliance Screening

• Stage II: Analytical Verification

ECO PASSPORT: RSL / MRSL Compliance Screening

PROCESS: STAGE I

Chemicals are screened, at the ingredient

level (CAS #s), against the OEKO-TEX®

RSL/ MRSL.

Compliance comparison in a cost-effective

manner. Customers will be informed about

any non-compliance quickly and efficiently

about ingredients of concern in order to

make substitutions prior to the analytical

verification.

ECO PASSPORT: Analytical Verification

PROCESS: STAGE II

Analytical verification in our OEKO-TEX®

laboratories ensure that certified chemical

products can be used in the sustainable

production of human-ecologically

optimized textile products.
