# OEKO-TEX® Certification: What It Means for You

## Understanding OEKO-TEX® Standard 100

At ZM Textiles, every product carries the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification - but what does this actually mean for you and your family?

## What is OEKO-TEX®?

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is one of the world's most recognized independent certification systems for textile products. Established in 1992, it's managed by the International OEKO-TEX® Association, representing 17 independent textile research and test institutes across Europe and Japan.

## Why It Matters

### Tested for Harmful Substances
OEKO-TEX® certified products have been tested for:
- Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury)
- Formaldehyde
- Pesticides
- Chlorinated phenols
- Phthalates
- Allergenic dyes
- Organotin compounds
- And over 100 other harmful chemicals

### Stricter Than Legal Requirements
OEKO-TEX® standards often exceed national and international legal requirements. Products are tested beyond what's legally mandated to ensure maximum safety.

### Tested at Every Production Stage
The certification covers all components of a textile product - fabrics, threads, buttons, zippers, and other accessories. Every part that touches your skin is tested.

## Benefits for Your Family

### Safe for Sensitive Skin
OEKO-TEX® certified textiles are ideal for people with allergies, sensitive skin, or chemical sensitivities. They're tested to be gentle and non-irritating.

### Safe for Children
The certification includes even stricter requirements for products intended for babies and young children (Product Class I), ensuring the highest level of safety for the most vulnerable.

### Better for the Environment
OEKO-TEX® certified products are produced with consideration for environmental protection and sustainable practices.

## Independent and Transparent

Certification is granted by independent institutes, not the manufacturers themselves. This ensures objectivity and reliability. Products are regularly retested to maintain certification.
