The Oeko­Tex label is widely recognized in the textile industry as a standard of safety testing and inspection. Oeko­Tex Standard 100 was created in 1993 to address the increasing demand for garments and home textiles to be free from any substances that might pose a risk to human health as well as to provide a specific in-use quality standard. Manufacturers who comply with the strict testing and inspection procedures and provide safety and quality assurance are allowed to place the OekoTex Association label on their products.
