| What the source establishes | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | The guide cites published ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it discloses that ISO 10013:2021's 2026 systematic review is at close-of-review stage and separates every cited authority from product-specific technical and market decisions. | bluesign's current downloads page links general and brand-specific System Partner lists dated July 1, 2026. The general list separates brands and retailers, chemical suppliers, and manufacturers. The same official page routes product verification, the Textiles Guide, the Chemical Finder, criteria, and bluepass label and claim guidance as distinct checks. |
