Prerequisites of the Oeko-Tex® Standard 1000

The Oeko-Tex® Standard 1000 requires that companies:

• comply with specified criteria to avoid or limit the use of harmful substances in production
• observe stringent limit values relating to waste water and exhaust air
• optimise their energy consumption
• ensure low noise and dust pollution
• introduce measures to ensure safety at work

Statutory requirements and regulations must be complied with as minimum requirements. The use of child labour is prohibited.
The company guarantees in a declaration of commitment that they comply with all the criteria required by the Oeko-Tex® Standard 1000. The incorporation of basic elements of an environmental management system in the operational procedures is essential for this.
