Understanding OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100: Your Independent Safety Check
Imagine a super strict, totally independent detective agency that carefully checks products for up to 1000 harmful substances. That's a bit like OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100!
- Who is OEKO-TEX®? They are a global, independent group that tests products and materials.
- What Does "STANDARD 100" Mean? OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a label for textiles tested for harmful substances. Every item bearing the STANDARD 100 label is certified as having passed safety tests for the presence of harmful substances."
- More Than Just Rules: OEKO-TEX® doesn't just check for chemicals that are already against the law. They test for up to 1000 substances, including things like lead, mercury, and even other chemicals that research suggests could potentially impact human health.
- Stricter Standards: Their safety limits for these substances are often much tougher than what governments or other organizations require. They even update their tests at least once a year.
- A Continuous Commitment: Tampax tampons have proudly earned the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification. This isn't a one-time verification; we have to continuously meet their strict requirements year after year to keep this important certification.
