The Oeko-Tex Association has recently updated its test criteria, limit values and guidelines based on new scientific findings and legal developments.

Effective from April 1, 2024, with the exception of one regulation, the new standards will come into force after the regular transition period. However, for the ban on intentional use of PFAS, a new limit value for total fluorine (TF) is effective from January 1, 2024, replacing the previous parameter for extractable organic fluorine (EOF). Additionally, other criteria for foam, microplastics, GMOs and SVHC alignment have been added.
