What Is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100? OEKO-TEX® Certification for Carpets

What Is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100?

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a certification standard indicating that textile products have been tested for harmful substances.

Under this standard, products are tested according to criteria determined based on their intended use. The testing process is not limited to fabrics or yarns; various components and accessories used in the product may also be evaluated. According to the criteria specified by OEKO-TEX®, products are tested for more than 1,000 harmful substances.

Therefore, the OEKO-TEX® label provides consumers with additional assurance that the product has met the specified testing criteria.

Why Is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Important?

Dyes, auxiliary chemicals and other production inputs used in textile products may remain in the finished product. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 focuses on assessing whether textile products comply with defined limit values concerning human health.

One of the important features of the standard is that different requirements are applied according to the intended use of the product and the level of skin contact. Products with more intensive skin contact are subject to stricter criteria.

What Does an OEKO-TEX® Certified Carpet Mean?

A carpet certified under OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 means that it has passed the harmful substance tests specified for the relevant product class of the standard.

An important distinction should be made here: OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 does not mean that a carpet is stain-resistant, antibacterial, guaranteed to be suitable for allergy sufferers, or completely free of chemicals. The certification primarily concerns testing the textile product for compliance with specified harmful substance criteria.

For this reason, consumers should check the OEKO-TEX® label and certification information on the product.

Textile Safety in Children's Rooms and Living Spaces

Carpets are home textile products that we come into contact with regularly throughout the day. Contact with carpets can be even more frequent in areas where children play.

Independent textile safety standards such as OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 help consumers consider not only design and functional features when choosing a product, but also whether the product has been tested.

At Seyran Halı, we aim to combine quality, comfort, aesthetics and reliable production in our products.

How Can the OEKO-TEX® Label Be Verified?

Consumers who wish to verify the validity of an OEKO-TEX® certification can check the certification information on the product label through OEKO-TEX®'s official Label Check system. OEKO-TEX® provides a verification option for certified products using the product label or unique product information.
