Certifications, and What They Actually Cover
A certificate number on a website is easy to publish. This page sets out what each standard covers, what we test in our own lab, and how to verify any of it independently.
The Standards We Work To
Retailers in the EU, UK, and North America increasingly need this documentation on file before onboarding a supplier. We can provide certificates and audit reports on request.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100
Fabrics and trims screened for regulated substances, so garments are safe against skin during prolonged, high-sweat activity.
ISO 9001:2015
A documented quality management system, meaning every check has an owner, a record, and a corrective action path.
BSCI Audited
Third-party social audit covering wages, working hours, and workplace safety across the production floor.
Responsible Processing
Effluent treatment and chemical management in knitting and dyeing, aligned to international textile processing standards.
Testing We Run In-House
Certification governs the system. These are the physical checks we run on your specific order, batch by batch, with results recorded against the order number.
- GSM verification on every fabric roll at intake.
- Colourfastness to washing, rubbing, and perspiration.
- Dimensional stability, so garments hold size after laundering.
- Seam strength and stitch density against the approved specification.
- Print and embroidery wash durability on production samples.
- Pilling resistance on knitted performance fabrics.
- AQL 2.5 visual and measurement inspection before packing.
Verifying Any of This
You should not have to take a supplier’s word for compliance, and we would rather you did not.
- Certificate copies with issuing body and validity dates, sent on request.
- OEKO-TEX certificates are checkable directly on the issuing institute's public register.
- Factory visits welcome, in person or by live video walkthrough.
- Third-party inspection at your cost, arranged with your nominated agency.
- Test reports supplied per shipment where your buyer requires them.
