Safe fabrics with Oeko-Tex® certification

Verhees Textiles is your trusted supplier for children's fabrics, which must, of course, be safe for children and babies. The Oeko-Tex® label guarantees that no harmful substances, such as chemicals, are present in the fabric. Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex® has been a globally recognized, independent testing and certification system for textile raw materials and finished textile products for over 30 years. Oeko-Tex® protects against toxic, irritating, and allergenic chemicals and applies different product classes, with the strictest requirements and limits for baby products. The tests performed by Oeko-Tex on a fabric go far beyond legal European regulations, ensuring that a product is also fully compliant with REACH requirements.

Confidence in Textiles

Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex includes four levels of certification, with criteria for baby clothing being much stricter than for items like curtains. The more contact a fabric has with the skin, the stricter the requirements. Especially for babies, whose skin is not yet fully developed and lacks the same functions and defense mechanisms as adult skin, special care and protection are needed. Dyes must not be absorbed through the skin, and infants and young children should be able to safely chew on fabrics. Verhees Textiles holds certifications for Class 1 and Class 2, the two strictest levels in this standard.

Together for healthy and safe textiles

At Verhees Textiles, we collaborate with Oeko-Tex® to ensure the production of healthy and safe textiles. Our certifications, verified by Centexbel (numbers: 1501004 for Class 1 and 1501005 for Class 2), can be downloaded from our webshop after registration.

Want to promote with Oeko-Tex®?

As a retailer or wholesaler, you are allowed to sell our Oeko-Tex® certified fabrics under the same certification, as long as no new labels are added to the products. In our webshop, we provide a product certificate that includes all relevant certification details. However, if you are a manufacturer, you must obtain your own Oeko-Tex® certificate. This is necessary because the addition of new components, such as zippers, threads, and buttons, requires the entire product to be re-certified.
