OEKO-TEX
OEKO-TEX ORGANIC COTTON
Certifies cotton articles as organic and tested for harmful substances, with genetic testing used to check the fibre against the claim. A voluntary certification standard, not a test method. Conformity is demonstrated by testing and audit through OEKO-TEX member institutes, and the certificate is what moves with the goods.

What this standard is for
What to watch for
Occupies the same ground as the Organic Content Standard and the two are not interchangeable on a specification. The edition is inside the document and not in its web address. OEKO-TEX serves the current document at a permanent URL, so a link saved in a quality manual quietly starts pointing at a later edition with different limit values. Cite the edition, never just the link.
