OEKO-TEX® Certification Consultants
What is OEKO-TEX® Certification?
OEKO-TEX was founded in 1992 by the German Hohenstein Institute and the Austrian Textile Research Institute and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. It was established to address growing consumer concerns about harmful substances in textile and leather products and to create a uniform global testing standard.
To fill the gap in product safety evaluation, the founders developed STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, a globally recognized certification system. Today, OEKO-TEX® certification verifies that textile products are tested against more than 100 harmful substances and are safe for human use.
Products are awarded the STANDARD 100 label after successful testing by authorized OEKO-TEX® partner institutes in accordance with the official criteria catalogue, ensuring consumer protection and chemical safety compliance.
The global textile and apparel industry is under increasing pressure to prove product safety and chemical compliance. International brands, retailers, and importers now require OEKO-TEX® certification as part of supplier approval.
PQSmitra provides expert OEKO-TEX® certification consulting in India, supporting textile manufacturers, exporters, garment units, dyeing houses, fabric mills, and home textile brands through structured compliance preparation and documentation support.
We do not act as a certification body — we prepare your organization to successfully obtain OEKO-TEX® certification from authorized bodies.
Why OEKO-TEX® Certification is Important for Indian Manufacturers?
With India being one of the largest textile exporters globally, compliance with international chemical safety standards is no longer optional.
OEKO-TEX® certification helps:
- Improve global buyer acceptance
- Strengthen export competitiveness
- Reduce rejection risks
- Demonstrate chemical compliance
- Enhance brand credibility
- Align with sustainability requirements
For exporters targeting EU and US markets, OEKO-TEX® certification is often a mandatory buyer requirement.
