The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 criteria catalogue contains a wide variety of test parameters and is updated annually, based on latest scientific findings, changes to industry initiatives and market developments.
In many cases, the test criteria and limit values go far beyond legal requirements. The inclusion of numerous additional potentially harmful substances strongly reflects the pioneering role that the STANDARD 100 has played for many years now.
The STANDARD 100 laboratory tests for harmful substances include:
- Substances which are prohibited and regulated by law
- Chemicals that are known to be harmful to health but which are not yet regulated by law
- Substances that are believed to be harmful to health
