Oeko-Tex Certification


Confidence in Textiles In April 2004, Gildan became the first manufacturer catering to the wholesale imprinted activewear market to obtain the Oeko-tex Standard 100 certification, the most internationally recognized eco-label designation in the textile supply chain. A rigorous process comprising over 100 individual tests is required to achieve the standard. It ensures that the production process and the textiles themselves pose no risk to the human body through skin contact, ingestion or inhalation, thereby offering consumers maximum confidence in terms of health and environmental implications when buying textiles.
