In keeping with its annual policy, Oeko-Tex Association has updated the various applicable test criteria, limit values and requirements for its range of certifications and labels.
- The limit values are relevant for Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Organic Cotton, Leather Standard and Eco Passport.
- The limit values come into effect on 1 April 2025, after a three-month transition period.
- In 2025, Oeko-Tex will continue to monitor various substances based on the latest scientific findings and conformity with relevant specifications.
- While a whole lot of new chemicals and pesticides have been placed “under observation”, all diisocyanates have been removed from under observation for Eco Passport and will not be taken up as restricted substances.
Oeko-Tex standards enable the textile and leather industry to make responsible decisions and protect natural resources.
