Oeko-tex Standard - Product Classes

Product Classes

The test costs depend on which of the four Oeko-Tex product classes the product falls under

I = baby products (up to age three - 36 months)
II = products having skin contact (blouses, shirts, underwear)
III = products having no skin contact (coats, lined cloths)
IV = furnishings (table wear, funiture coverings, curtains, textile flooring, mattresses)

The greater the contact with the skin, the more stringent the requirements.
