About Oeko-Tex

Oeko-Tex is a well-known international standard system in the field of textiles, aiming to evaluate and certify the safety of products for consumer health and the environment. Founded in 1992 in Switzerland, Oeko-Tex has grown into a global network, consisting of independent laboratories and related organizations across many countries. Oeko-Tex certification, especially the STANDARD 100 standard, has become a prestigious guarantee for textile and garment products that do not contain harmful chemicals, contributing to improving the brand value and competitiveness of businesses in the international market.
