OEKO-TEX Standard 100
Tests finished textiles for harmful substances. Baby articles fall in the strictest product class.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 tests textile products for a long list of regulated and unregulated harmful substances. Products are graded by how much skin contact they have, and Product Class I — articles for babies and toddlers — carries the strictest limits, including tighter thresholds for formaldehyde, heavy metals, and azo dyes.
Certificates carry a number that can be checked in OEKO-TEX's public database.
What it does not mean
It is a chemical safety test, not an organic or environmental certification. An OEKO-TEX certified fabric can be conventionally grown and intensively processed. It says the finished article tested clean of specified substances — a genuinely useful thing, and a narrower one than shoppers assume.
