What OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Means for Baby Clothes

MOSSRIVER's Position

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means a tested article met that standard's substance limits—not "chemical-free," medical safety, or eczema treatment. To check a brand's OEKO-TEX claim, look up the certificate number on the hangtag.

Manufacturer OEKO is not finished-garment OEKO: dyes and batches need retesting, and fake tags fail checks. How-to: enter the number at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/label-check.

How the programs differ in practice: OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is about substance limits on the tested article or material—use the certificate number with Label Check. GOTS is a separate organic and supply-chain program—use the GOTS public record for scope and validity. Compost certification is another lane: it addresses verified compostability under a named standard, which is not the same as biodegradable as a material property. Our supplier's fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100. MossRiver does not hold storewide GOTS certification and does not hold a third-party compost certification. This article teaches verification, not a medical or “chemical-free” guarantee.
