Certification for Kleen-Tex
2008-03-05
Kleen-Tex Austria ist the first company, which received the oeko-tex certification for all Jet Print mats.
The International Oeko-Tex Association, a grouping of 14 well-known textile research and test institutes in Europe and Japan, with representative agencies and contact offices in over 30 countries worldwide, is responsible for the independent tests for harmful substances according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
TheOeko-Tex Standard 100 was introduced at the beginning of the 1990s as a response to the needs of consumers and the general public for textiles which posed no risk to health. "Poison in textiles" and other negative headlines were widespread at this time and indiscriminately branded all chemicals across the board used in textile manufacturing as negative and dangerous to health.
The testing and certification system of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 satisfies the many and varied requirements consumers make of modern textile products and at the same time takes into account the complex production conditions in the textile industry: global organisation, a strong tendency towards the international division of labour, different mentalities with respect to the use of potentially harmful substances.
- Manufacturing textile products of all types, ecologically harmless for humans.
- Simplifying and accelerating terms of delivery for manufacturers and retailers who wish to offer their customers textile products which pose no risk whatsoever to health.
- A reliable product label for consumers who specifically aim to buy textiles which are harmless to health.
All Jet Print mats of Kleen-Tex Austria have been undergone a objective assessment of harmful substances and were certified according to the Oeko-Tex Standard, as all components met the required criteria without exception.
