OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 for Upholstery Fabrics

OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 is a widely recognized textile label, including upholstery fabrics. It confirms compliance with harmful-substance limits within the defined certification scope.

What does STANDARD 100 cover?

The system evaluates selected potentially harmful substances under defined criteria and updates. Certification is linked to specific products or groups and can be verified by certificate number.

Product classes and why they matter

Different classes correspond to different contact scenarios and limit strictness. Class information should never be confused with mechanical upholstery durability ratings.

What the certificate is not

It is not a full life-cycle sustainability score and does not replace technical sheet values such as Martindale, pilling, light fastness, flame behavior, or care rules.

What to do in practice when purchasing

Request certificate number, product class, and scope details, then compare them with project requirements and market regulations. Combine certification checks with swatch and technical sheet review.
