OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100

The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a globally recognized testing and certification system for textiles and accessories such as buttons and zippers. The OEKO-TEX organization distinguishes between four product classes based on intended use and skin contact. The STANDARD 100 label guarantees consumers that textile products have been tested against strict global standards for protection from harmful substances.

At uvex

Many uvex products, especially protective clothing and gloves, are certified according to OEKO-Tex Standard 100. The more intensive the contact a product has with the skin, the stricter the requirements it must meet. For example, protective gloves fall under the second-highest classification due to their prolonged skin contact. On our website, all products can be filtered based on this criterion.
