OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

C.B.S Readytex has been in cooperation with the Association for the Assessment of Environmentally Friendly Textiles (Oeko-Tex International) and uses the Oeko-Tex 100 Standard to evaluate and screen for any harmful substances present within processed textiles. The tests for harmful substances in textiles specified in the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 were first introduced in 1992. Both criteria and limit values have been standardized on an international basis and are regularly reviewed and updated. This results in specifications for textile products that have been optimized in terms of human ecology through a comprehensive definition. C.B.S -Readytex has been using the Oeko-Tex 100 Standard to evaluate and screen for any harmful substances present within our garments. Our clothes meet the human-ecological requirements of the standard currently established for baby articles. (Product class I) This means, that they are safe to be worn by all, even at the most sensitive of ages. Baby’s skin is 5 times thinner than an adult, so their skin is more prone to skin irritations. Clothes are in constant contact with our skin therefore safety is of utmost importance. Our clothes are tested and screened and are found to be free of all harmful substances. All garments produced by C.B.S Readytex have been tested and accredited by the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Our reference number is 53575/GR.

GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) takes the entire production process into account. This means that that every processing step must meet certain criteria. Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognized as the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It defines high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as well. The aim of these standards is to define requirements to ensure organic status of textiles the product’s fibres must come from certified organic farming. 95% or more of the fibre content of the products excluding non textile accessories must be of certified organic origin or from cotton in-conversion. The product must not contain materials from GMO technology. The production and processing from harvesting of the raw materials, and manufacturing up to labelling has taken place under circumstances that do not adversely affect the environment and in a socially responsible way. All chemical inputs such as dyestuffs and auxiliaries used must meet certain environmental and toxicological criteria and also the choice of accessories is limited under ecological aspects. A functional waste water treatment plant is mandatory for any wet-processing unit involved and all processors must comply with social minimum criteria.
