It is the confirmation of compliance with the criteria prescribed by an OEKO-TEX® standard and entitles the holder to use the OEKO-TEX® label.
MADE IN GREEN label
A MADE IN GREEN label is a label indicating that compliance with the MADE IN GREEN standard has been verified by a testing institute.
Certificate number
Each certificate is assigned a number upon initial issuance. This number is shown on the OEKO-TEX® label (excluding MADE IN GREEN). If an OEKO-TEX® label is used, the customer must comply with the current brand statutes and regulations and the current Terms of Use.
MADE IN GREEN Label Number/Product ID definition
Each MADE IN GREEN label has an individual product identifier (product ID). The product ID is the number and / or QR code indicated on the label. Its purpose is to provide a unique means by which the user can identify and trace the labelled article. The product ID also serves as the license number for using the label. It is therefore the verification that the article complies with the criteria.
