The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is an independent, globally uniform testing and certification system for controlling harmful substances in textiles. The standard is administered by the International Oeko-Tex® Association, a consortium of 15 well-known textile research and test institutes in Europe and Japan, with representative agencies and contact offices in over 50 countries worldwide.
