• Requirements of Annexes XVII and XIV of the European Chemicals Regulation (REACH) as well as of the ECHA SVHC Candidate List insofar as they are assessed by expert groups of the OEKO-TEX® Association to be relevant for fabrics, textiles, garments or accessories
• Testing and certification of the textile products through independent test institutes with the relevant expertise
