41 resources for check standards
The official database of certified organic textile entities, searchable by location, operation, and product category.
Checking GOTS certification records
A company result is not a blanket approval; confirm the certificate scope, validity, facility, process, product, and transaction documentation for the exact purchase.
The official search tool for companies and products carrying OEKO-TEX labels.
Finding labeled textile products and companies
A search result applies only to its named label and scope; check the exact certificate number, product, facility, status, and validity before making a claim.
A central search for active scope certificates and certified sourcing options across Textile Exchange standards.
Checking a certified company or scope certificate
Certification bodies maintain and verify the published scope-certificate data. A listed scope certificate does not establish that a particular shipment has a valid transaction certificate, that every product or site is in scope, or that the company has suitable capacity, availability, performance, commercial terms, or project fit. Confirm the exact standard, organization, sites, products, validity dates, scope, and applicable transaction certificate before relying on a claim.
Official downloadable lists and reference material for bluesign system partners and approved inputs.
Starting a bluesign-aligned supplier check
Partner status is not a blanket product claim; use the current official list and confirm the exact facility, material, process, or chemical-input scope.
Industry-standard yarn weights, symbols, sizing, abbreviations, and pattern-writing guidelines.
Resolving yarn and pattern terminology
These are voluntary industry guidelines, not law, a licensed test method, or proof that a yarn, hook, needle, pattern, size, or care instruction suits a project. Publishers, manufacturers, and regions may use different names, aliases, chart symbols, size tables, and weight systems. Confirm the actual pattern key, measured tool diameter, yarn label and specifications, body or garment measurements, gauge, care evidence, and destination-market requirements.
US federal guidance on textile, wool, fur, care, origin, and responsible-business labeling requirements.
Starting a US textile-label compliance check
This is a federal guidance gateway, not legal advice, a product classification, an approved label, a test report, or a complete requirement set. Coverage, exemptions, fibre claims, origin claims, care instructions, substantiation, and responsible-party identification depend on the actual product and transaction. Confirm current rule text and enforcement guidance plus any CPSC, customs, state, environmental, advertising, accessibility, or other market requirements that apply.
Official EU business guidance on fibre-composition labels, language, animal-origin disclosure, and covered textile products.
Starting an EU textile-label compliance check
This is a business-guidance overview, not the controlling legal text, legal advice, a product classification, an approved label, or a complete market-access checklist. Product composition, exemptions, business-to-business documents, fibre names, language, placement, durability, national enforcement, safety, chemicals, environmental claims, care, customs, and other rules require product- and market-specific review. Confirm Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 and current EU and national requirements before sale.
A free, multilingual finished-product restricted-substances list for apparel, footwear, accessories, and related materials.
Building a product chemical-restriction baseline
AFIRM states that its list is guidance, not legal advice, an industry standard of care, or a guarantee of completeness or brand acceptance. It does not replace current law, a customer's stricter RSL, manufacturing-input controls, a product-specific risk and sampling plan, accepted laboratory methods, supplier controls, or performance and safety testing.
A searchable list of chemicals banned from intentional use in textile, leather, rubber, foam, adhesive, and trim processing.
Chemical-input controls during manufacturing
The MRSL controls manufacturing inputs within its stated scope. It does not by itself prove a facility's chemical inventory, implementation, worker protection, emissions, wastewater performance, formulation conformance, or finished-product compliance. Verify the current version, law, brand program, safety rules, chemical-product certificates and status, facility records, and finished-product RSL and testing requirements.
A free reference covering laws and regulations that restrict chemicals in finished apparel, footwear, and home-textile products.
Surveying finished-product chemical regulations
AAFA provides the list for information only and says it is voluntary, may contain omissions or inaccuracies, and is not legal advice. A global most-restrictive value is not a complete market or product determination. Verify the current controlling law, jurisdiction, product and component scope, exemptions, effective dates, test method, sampling plan, brand requirements, manufacturing-input controls, and other safety rules.
Official guidance on fibre disclosure, dealer identity, bilingual requirements, label application, imports, and textile advertising in Canada.
Starting a Canadian textile-label compliance check
This is federal guidance, not the controlling legislation, an approved label, a product classification, or legal advice. It does not resolve every exemption, fibre test, origin claim, care label, product-safety rule, provincial language duty, or market-specific requirement. Confirm the current Act and Regulations, Quebec and other applicable rules, the actual article and fibre evidence, and the responsible dealer before sale or import.
Trading Standards guidance on fibre-content labels, component disclosure, permitted fibre names, placement, and business responsibility.
Starting a Great Britain textile-label compliance check
The guide expressly excludes Northern Ireland and says only courts can authoritatively interpret the law. It is not the controlling legislation, an approved label, a product classification, or legal advice. Confirm current legislation and amendments, the exact product and exemptions, substantiated composition, responsible manufacturer or importer, online and physical presentation, and any other safety, chemicals, origin, care, or consumer-law duties.
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission guidance on the care-labelling rule, including covered and excluded goods, permitted instruction formats, and links to the legal instrument.
Getting an accessible Australian care-labelling overview before opening the registered legal instrument and any incorporated standard needed for the product
The ACCC explicitly describes this page as an overview that suppliers must not use as a complete compliance guide. It is not the registered instrument or the full licensed text of AS/NZS 1957:1998 or ISO 3758:2012, and it does not classify a product, select or approve instructions, or cover fibre content, origin, children's nightwear, chemicals, general product safety, every state or territory issue, or legal advice. Check the current instrument, exact product scope and exemptions, incorporated text, label execution, related rules, records, and enforcement guidance before supply.
Federal Register of Legislation text for Australia's in-force Consumer Goods (Care Labelling) Information Standard 2023, including regulated goods, exemptions, and post-transition compliance routes.
Reading the current Australian legal instrument after the ACCC overview, especially its regulated-goods scope, exemptions, and the two permitted post-transition compliance routes
This is the registered legal instrument, not a complete product compliance answer. It incorporates copyrighted standards whose full clauses, tables, and symbol specifications are not reproduced by this route; the ACCC states that licensed copies are purchased separately or may be viewed at an ACCC office subject to licensing conditions. The instrument does not classify a particular article, prove that wording or symbols are appropriate and adequate for every component, approve artwork, establish test evidence, or cover fibre content, origin, children's nightwear, chemicals, other product-safety duties, customs, buyer requirements, or legal advice. Confirm the latest version, exact regulated or exempt status, incorporated text, care evidence, label execution, related rules, and supply-chain records before market release.
New Zealand Commerce Commission guidance on fibre-content information for textile goods, including scope, exclusions, label placement, language, and supplier coverage.
Starting a New Zealand fibre-content label check for clothing, fabric, hosiery, carpet, or another textile good before confirming the incorporated standard and related labels
This is regulator guidance, not the governing regulations, the full incorporated AS/NZS 2622:1996 text, an item-specific classification, approved label, fibre test result, or legal advice. It does not establish the fibre content of an actual product or cover every care, country-of-origin, children's-nightwear, chemical, product-safety, customs, or advertising obligation. Confirm the current regulations and incorporated standard, exact product and exclusions, substantiated fibre composition, label location and durability, related labels, responsible supplier, and current Commerce Commission interpretation before supply.
The official public map for current WRAP-certified apparel, footwear, sewn-goods, leather-goods, and textile production facilities worldwide.
Checking a named facility's current WRAP certification or discovering listed production units
The public map is opt-in and certification applies to an individual production unit; it does not establish product quality, capacity, availability, upstream coverage, or whole-chain performance.
An ILO and IFC portal publishing named apparel-factory assessment data and disclosed non-compliance findings in participating country programs.
Reviewing public labor-compliance findings for a participating factory
Coverage is limited to participating countries and eligible factories, and current migration can delay recent assessments; absence of a published issue is not approval, a complete audit, or proof of sourcing fit.
The official public search for Fairtrade-certified organizations by status, product, country, supply-chain function, or keyword.
Checking an organization's Fairtrade certification in a cotton or textile supply chain
The public search is not the complete customer list, and organization status does not prove the claim, scope, documentation, or availability of a specific product, shipment, or transaction.
The official certificate and license search for FSC organizations, status, scope, country, certification body, and forest-based product categories including packaging.
Checking chain-of-custody scope for paper packaging, hangtags, and printed materials
A valid certificate covers only its stated organization and scope; it does not prove that a specific packaging order carries an FSC claim or that every party and transaction is documented correctly.
The official search for PEFC-certified organizations, certificate validity, countries, products, and chain-of-custody sourcing records.
Finding or checking paper-based packaging and hangtag suppliers with PEFC chain-of-custody scope
A chain-of-custody record applies only to the named organization and scope; verify the exact product claim, current status, supplier role, artwork approval, and transaction documentation for each order.
The European Commission's searchable catalogue of EU Ecolabel goods and services includes a clothing and textiles category plus downloadable and API-accessible product data.
Checking whether a named textile product and licence holder appears in the current EU Ecolabel catalogue before requesting scope evidence
The Commission states that licence holders are responsible for registering their products, so the catalogue can be non-exhaustive; a match applies only to the listed product and licence scope and does not establish supplier capacity, commercial fit, every environmental claim, or broader company performance.
The European e-Justice Portal explains and links the Business Registers Interconnection System for searching companies and filed information across the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
Checking whether a shortlisted European supplier's legal company name and registration number resolve to a current national business-register record
Basic search does not prove that the registered entity owns or operates the facility presented to a buyer, and available fields, documents, prices, and delivery vary by national register; match the legal record to contracts, invoices, bank details, facility evidence, and current contacts.
The European Commission's VIES service checks whether a VAT number is recorded for cross-border transactions within the European Union and returns the validation response supplied by national databases.
Checking an EU supplier's stated VAT number and saving the dated validation response as one identity and invoicing control
A valid VAT number is not proof of manufacturing capability, facility ownership, authorized bank instructions, product origin, tax advice, quality, capacity, certification, labor conditions, or delivery; names and addresses may not be returned for every country, and temporary database outages occur.
Official CPSC gateway for U.S. clothing-textile, vinyl-film, children's sleepwear, infant-garment, tight-fitting sleepwear, certificate, and related flammability requirements.
Classifying the first federal flammability and certificate questions for apparel intended for U.S. sale before reading the current rule text
The gateway is not a product classification, complete rule matrix, test plan, laboratory acceptance, certificate, label review, import filing, or legal opinion. Requirements depend on the actual product, age, size, material, treatment, components, use, claims, destination, manufacture, and current law; verify the rule text and qualified evidence before release.
Official CPSC guidance on the responsible certifier, third-party test basis, required certificate elements, exclusions, examples, and supporting records for covered children's products.
Structuring a Children's Product Certificate after the actual product and applicable CPSC-enforced rules have been identified
The examples are illustrative and do not identify every rule for a product. This page does not classify an item, select tests, prove that a laboratory scope or report matches production, issue a certificate, satisfy tracking-label duties, or complete current import eFiling. The responsible certifier remains accountable for current and accurate product-specific evidence.
Official CPSC entry point for certificate eFiling applicability, Product Registry accounts, importer and broker workflows, regulated-product data, and current document resources.
Planning the current CPSC certificate-data handoff for regulated imports with the importer, finished-product certifier, customs broker, and entry records
The portal does not decide whether a product requires certification, identify the correct rules or certificate data, classify an entry, replace the current 16 CFR part 1110 text, or reconcile a filing to an actual shipment. Effective dates and workflows differ by entry route; use current CPSC, CBP, customs, product-safety, and legal review.
INMETRO's current starting point for the Brazilian laws and Mercosur regulation governing required textile-product labeling information.
Identifying Brazil's core textile-labeling instruments before checking the exact product, required fiber information, presentation method, exceptions, and current legal text
This Portuguese-language page is a regulatory starting point, not a product classification, approved label, customs decision, market-release authorization, translation service, or legal opinion. Exact obligations can depend on the product, destination, composition, presentation, exceptions, and later amendments. Check the current Portuguese legal text and obtain qualified advice when the consequence warrants it.
South Africa's final Consumer Protection Act regulations, including country-of-origin and related textile, clothing, footwear, and leather-goods labeling rules.
Reading the official Regulation 6 labeling framework and Annexure D scope before checking the exact tariff classification, current standards, amendments, and enforcement position
The final regulation dates from 2011 and references national standards whose full current text and edition may require separate access. This route does not determine tariff classification, reproduce paid standards, approve label artwork, establish every current amendment, or provide legal advice. Confirm the exact product scope, current statute and notices, applicable SABS edition, labeling details, and enforcement position before release.
The Bureau of Indian Standards search route for finding Indian Standards by number or product keyword and checking connected amendments, notices, schemes, licensees, and labs.
Starting an India textile or apparel standards check with a product term or known IS number, then tracing current documents and compulsory-certification evidence
This is a general standards gateway, not a textile-only checklist or a statement that every result is mandatory, current for the intended product, or freely downloadable. Compulsory status depends on the exact product scope, Quality Control Order, gazette notice, implementation date, and certification scheme. Confirm classification, the current standard and amendments, access terms, applicable order, testing, marking, and legal obligations before making or importing goods.
Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency handbook route for the Household Goods Quality Labeling Act, with an English textile-labeling guide and linked legal translations.
Understanding Japan's designated textile-goods labeling framework, fiber-composition terms, care symbols, and responsible-labeler information before item-specific review
The English guide states that its content is current as of August 20, 2024 and is explanatory rather than an item-specific determination. Requirements vary by designated textile item, and English legal translations may be informational rather than authoritative. Check the current Japanese law and regulation, exact product classification, Japanese-language content, label placement and format, and any separate safety or chemical rules before sale.
South Korea's current administrative-rule register for safety-standards-compliance consumer goods, with the full household-textile safety and labeling standard in Annex 1.
Opening the current South Korean administrative-rule record and its adult household-textile annex before confirming product scope, testing, labeling, and related requirements
The current register and annex are Korean-only. Notice 2026-55 amended Annex 17 for stainless-steel scrubbers, so its 2026 date must not be read as proof that Annex 1's textile requirements changed at that time. The household-textile annex excludes infant and child products and custom clothing and does not cover every leather or footwear article, protective product, or flame-related claim. This route does not classify a product, select current referenced standards or tests, approve a label, prove conformity, clear customs, or provide legal advice. Confirm the current record, annex, exact product and user class, Korean text, related safety scheme, test evidence, marking, records, and market-release duties before sale.
Taiwan's Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection commodity-labeling route and official English download for apparel-label scope, required fields, fiber content, care, and labeling methods.
Starting a Taiwan apparel-label review with the official product scope, exclusions, required fields, fiber-content rules, care categories, and attachment methods
The criteria cover specified apparel and body-worn products and explicitly exclude categories including tailor-made or made-to-measure clothing, footwear, belts, bags, and several other goods. This route does not determine product classification, resolve every component or claim, establish that English text governs, include every later notice or BSMI inspection requirement, approve artwork, prove testing or conformity, clear importation, or provide legal advice. Confirm the governing Chinese text, current notices, exact product scope, responsible party, related inspection and safety rules, label execution, and enforcement interpretation before sale.
Singapore's supplier-facing overview of the Consumer Goods Safety Requirements framework for general consumer goods, including apparel and children's products.
Starting a Singapore apparel safety review by identifying the CGSR framework, supplier responsibility, applicable standards, added requirements, and post-market duties
The framework does not select one standard or prove conformity for a particular garment, and its examples are not exhaustive. This route is not textile-labeling guidance, a product classification, a test plan, a conformity certificate, or legal advice. Determine the exact product and user, current applicable standard and edition, added requirements, testing evidence, records, warnings, recall duties, and any separate labeling or chemical rules before supply.
The European Commission's current starting route for Regulation (EU) 2016/425, its application guidance, notified bodies, harmonised standards, and related PPE information.
Starting an EU/EEA PPE scope and conformity review with the current law, Commission guidance, harmonised-standard publications, and official notified-body route
This is a legal and guidance starting point, not a product classification, risk assessment, standard selection, technical file, test plan, notified-body appointment, EU type-examination certificate, declaration, CE-mark approval, or legal opinion. Confirm the actual intended and foreseeable use, risk category, current law, applicable essential requirements, conformity route, economic-operator duties, destination rules, and evidence before placing PPE on the market.
The European Commission's PPE-specific route to current Official Journal publications and the consolidated reference list for harmonised standards under Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
Checking whether a PPE standard reference is currently published or scheduled for withdrawal before obtaining the licensed standard and mapping its covered requirements
The Commission says its consolidated summary is informational and may not be complete at every moment; legal effect comes from Official Journal publications. A listed reference does not select the standard for a product, reproduce licensed technical content, cover every essential requirement, prove conformity, or authorize a performance class or CE mark. Recheck the current OJEU publication, obtain the correct controlled standard, and document product-specific coverage and evidence.
Artesanías de Colombia's current public library of territorial craft-process and quality references, including multiple weaving communities, loom forms, fibres, hammocks, bags, and hats.
Locating the applicable Colombian territorial process and quality reference before evaluating a named craft, workshop, material, or Sello de Calidad Hecho a Mano question
The publisher explicitly states that these are technical verification documents, not teaching guides. They do not certify a person or product, replace the applicable current document, represent every Colombian or Latin American practice, grant permission to reproduce community knowledge, symbols, or designs, or establish cultural and intellectual-property rights. Dates and PDF accessibility vary; select the territorial chapter carefully and confirm consent, attribution, present practice, applicable criteria, and product evidence with the relevant community and program.
