OEKO-TEX has a number of certification schemes, of which the STANDARD 100 is the most known and used. With the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification, the end product is always certified. Products that have this certification are free from hazardous chemicals and materials.
The other OEKO-TEX certifications are MADE IN GREEN and the LEATHER STANDARD, both of which are certifications for the final product. Products with this certification also had to undergo criteria for more sustainable production. Finally, OEKO-TEX also has STeP certification. This standard can be used to certify a production facility for more sustainable production.
