About the certificate

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification is the world's leading standard for textiles made from organic fibers. It covers all stages of production - from raw material extraction, through processing, to the finished product - taking into account both environmental and social criteria.

GOTS certification categories:

• “ORGANIC”: Products must contain at least 95% certified organic fibers.
• “MADE WITH (X%) ORGANIC”: Products must contain a minimum of 70% certified organic fibers.

GOTS certification criteria include:

• Raw materials: Fibres must come from organic farming, grown without the use of chemical pesticides, artificial fertilisers or genetically modified organisms.
• Production process: Includes rigorous standards for fabric processing, dyeing and finishing, with an emphasis on minimizing environmental impact and eliminating harmful chemicals.
• Working conditions: The GOTS standard places great emphasis on respecting workers’ rights, including ensuring decent working conditions, fair wages and the prohibition of forced and child labour.

By choosing GOTS certified fabrics and knits, consumers have the assurance that these products are not only environmentally friendly, but have also been produced in an ethical and sustainable manner.

About the certificate

The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 – Class I certificate is one of the most famous international quality marks for textile products, confirming their safety for users. It is particularly important for products intended for infants and small children, such as clothes, blankets, nappies or bedding.

What does the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate mean?

This certificate is awarded to textile materials that have undergone rigorous testing for substances harmful to health. The tests include:

• pesticides,
• heavy metals,
• formaldehyde,
• allergenic and carcinogenic dyes,
• phthalates and other chemicals that may negatively affect health.

Class I – the highest level of security

Textile products are classified into four categories, with Class I representing the most stringent requirements, for products intended for infants and children up to 3 years of age. Fabrics must be completely free of harmful substances, as children have particularly sensitive skin and often put fabrics in their mouths.

Benefits of choosing products with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certificate:

• Health safety – no toxic or allergenic substances,
• Quality guarantee – fabrics are tested by independent laboratories,
• Comfort of use – gentle and safe even for sensitive baby skin,
• Ecological approach – production that meets high safety standards and limits the use of harmful chemicals.

This certificate is awarded to finished products as well as fabrics, yarns and accessories, which means it can be found on a wide range of textile products for children.
