GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CERTIFICATES:

GOTS
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria. The aim of the standard is to define world-wide recognized requirements that ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer. The EU organic regulation is the legal basis for the control of organic farming and food processing in Europe. The Global Organic Textile Standard has the EU organic regulation as its baseline: it starts where the European Legislation ends. This legislation contains (amongst other standards): standards for crop production, standards for livestock husbandry: e.g.. duration of transport of livestock shall be minimized; any suffering, including mutilation, shall be kept to a minimum during the entire life of the animal.

Organic is a ‘whole system’ approach to farming and food production. It recognizes the close interrelationships between all parts of the production system from the soil to the consumer. Agricultural principles are: To produce food of high quality in sufficient quantity. To work within natural systems and cycles throughout all levels from the soil to plants and animals. To maintain the long term fertility and biological activity of soils. To treat livestock ethically, meeting their physiological and behavioral needs. To respect regional, environmental, climatic and geographic differences and (appropriate) practices that have evolved in response to them.

Organic farming: Organic farming means livestock has to be managed with special care for their welfare and health, the animals’ behavioral needs should be satisfied. It goes beyond merely avoiding cruelty. One should: aim to prevent disease and injury, increase the ability of stock to resist infection, parasitic attack and metabolic disorders, and increase their ability to overcome injury by rapid healing. Animals should enjoy the ‘five freedoms’ - freedom from: malnutrition, physical discomfort and extremes of temperature, injury and disease, fear and distress, unnecessary restrictions of behavior.

Environmental criteria: At all stages through the processing organic fibre products must be separated from conventional fiber products and must to be clearly identified. All chemical inputs (e.g. dyes, auxiliaries and process chemicals) must be evaluated and meeting basic requirements on toxicity and biodegradability/eliminability. Prohibition of critical inputs such as toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, aromatic solvents, functional nano particles, genetically modified organisms (GMO) and their enzymes. The use of synthetic sizing agents is restricted; knitting and weaving oils must not contain heavy metals. Bleaches must be based on oxygen (no chlorine bleaching). Azo dyes that release carcinogenic amine compounds are prohibited. Discharge printing methods using aromatic solvents and plastisol printing methods using phthalates and PVC are prohibited. Restrictions for accessories (e.g. no PVC, nickel or chrome permitted, any polyester must be post-consumer recycled from 2014 onwards). All operators must have an environmental policy including target goals and procedures to minimize waste and discharges. Wet processing units must keep full records of the use of chemicals, energy, water consumption and waste water treatment, including the disposal of sludge. The waste water from all wet processing units must be treated in a functional waste water treatment plant. Packaging material must not contain PVC.

IVN
The Internationale Verband der Naturtextilwirtschaft is a founder member of Global Standard GmbH, the managing body of the Gobal Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Since 2002 they have worked with SACL (UK), OTA (USA) and JOCA (Japan) to develop the unified global organic textile standards, which were launched in 2006. 
IVN offers besides GOTS as its basic standard one further standard for certification that complies with GOTS but contains some additional requirements.(regarding composition, dyes and auxiliary agents, mercerization, etc…). This is the Naturtextil Certified Best label.

JOCA

Japan Organic Cotton Since 2002 they have worked with SACL (UK), OTA (USA) and IVN (DE) to develop the unified global organic textile standards, which were launched in 2006. 
JOCA consist of several Japanese companies who produce or trade organic cotton products in Japan. The objective is to deepen understanding on organic cotton and promote consumption of the products in Japan. The Joca certificate complies to the GOTS certificate.

SACL
The Soil Association is a founder member of Global Standard GmbH, the managing body of the Gobal Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Since 2002 they have worked with IVN (Germany), OTA (USA) and JOCA (Japan) to develop the unified global organic textile standards, which were launched in 2006. It uses since June 2011 the GOTS standard as the basis for certification for new applicants.
The Soil Association organic standards have the EU organic regulation as their baseline. In many cases the standards are more robust than those set by EU regulations - in fact, no system of farming has higher levels of animal welfare standards than organic farms working to the Soil Association standards.

OEKOTEX
The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 was introduced at the beginning of the 1990s as a response to the needs of the general public for textiles which posed no risk to health. Oeko-Tex is an independent, third party certifier that offers two certifications for textiles: Oeko-Tex 100 (for products) and Oeko-Tex 1000 (for production sites/factories). Products satisfying the criteria for Oeko-Tex 100 which are produced in an Oeko-Tex 1000 certified facility get the Oeko-Tex 100Plus label. Oeko-Tex 100 labels aims to ensure that products pose no risk to health. They do not contain allergenic dye-stuffs and dye stuffs that form carcinogenic aryl-amines. They have been tested for pesticides and chlorinated phenols. They have been tested for the release of heavy metals under artificial perspiration conditions. Formaldehyde had been banned; other aldehyde limits are significantly lower than the required legal limits. They have a skin friendly pH, are free from chloro-organic carriers. They are free from biologically active finishes. The certification process includes thorough testing for a lengthy list of chemicals. Specifically banned are: AZO dyes, carcinogenic and allergy-inducing dyes, pesticides, chlorinated phenols, chloro-organic benzenes and toluenes, extractable heavy metals, phthalates in baby products, organotin compounds (TBT and DBT), emissions of volatile components.
