Every certificate on this page is a document issued by an independent body — confirmation that the materials, processes and declared properties conform to a standard, not merely a catalogue claim. Our management system is audited every year, we have held OEKO-TEX continuously since 2009, and we test every fabric against the standards assigned to its application.
Production-process conformity, audited annually by independent bodies.
