OEKO-TEX®

Bambinex is the proud owner of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® product label: trust in textiles, tested for harmful substances.

Since its introduction in 1992, the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® has developed testing criteria, limit values and testing methods on a scientific basis. Based on a strict and extensive catalogue of measures, with hundreds of individual, regularised substances. 

The more intense the contact with the skin, the stricter the requirements. Bambinex meets the strictest product class, this being class 1: for babies and toddlers. Owing to the sensitive skin of young children, safety comes first.
