What it is
OEKO-TEX is an international certification system for textiles and leather, best known for its STANDARD 100 mark, which tests products for a long list of harmful substances against defined limits.
Why it matters for compliance
For textile and leather products, OEKO-TEX is a recognised, third-party-tested signal of chemical safety. It supports — but does not replace — legal duties under REACH (restrictions and SVHCs): a brand still needs to confirm its own REACH position, but OEKO-TEX testing is strong supporting evidence and a trusted consumer-facing mark.
How to use it
- Use OEKO-TEX as evidence of chemical safety for textiles and leather.
- Confirm your independent REACH position (restrictions, SVHCs) alongside it.
- Use it behind product-safety and sustainability claims.
Good to know
Certification supports a claim, but REACH compliance is your legal duty regardless — treat OEKO-TEX as corroboration, not a substitute.
