Oeko-tex is not an unacquainted certificate to whom in textile industry. The Oeko-tex certificate is an international environmental certification system designed to ensure the safety and environmental protection of textiles to protect consumers and the environment. The certificate involves rigorous testing and evaluation of textiles against global hygiene, environmental and social standards.

The evaluation criteria of the Oeko-tex certificate include the detection of various harmful substances, such as heavy metals, carcinogens, fluorescent agents, etc., as well as the evaluation of the comfort, durability and quality of textiles. Textiles that comply with Oeko-tex standards are not only harmless to humans, but also have no negative impact on the environment.

Last week, Yunze got the new Oeko-tex Certificate for 2023. The certificate has a new design. Actually, it isn’t the first time that Oeko-tex certificate changes design. Before 2017, the design of certificate use green and orange as the main color. From 2017 to 2022, the design became more simple and the main color was orange and gray. This year, the new design is much more simple than before and there is only green color. The three designs just as as follow.

Since the Oeko-tex Certificate owns a period of validity runs for one year, manufacturers should retest the product and get the new certificate every year. Of course, the test fee isn’t cheap. Therefore, many manufacturers or wholesalers use others’ Oeko-tex Certificate to sell their products which actually can’t pass the test. This is the common option that TPU tape wholesalers choose to decrease their cost. So, if customers want to find a qualified TPU tape manufacturer, they can check the certificate number on official website of Oeko-tex. Then the information of the real manufacturers will be shown.
