Information seminar about Oeko-Tex certification

Write: Kamaria [2011-05-31]
Keeping in mind the growing demand for eco-friendly textiles and hence the increase in interest for Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification amongst Indian garment and made-up goods exporters and raw material suppliers along the supply chain, Hohenstein India Pvt Ltd will hold a seminar on 20 July 2011 in Ahmedabad to propagate interest and awareness of this quality benchmark in the field of textiles.
This seminar will provide comprehensive information about the Oeko-Tex testing and certification procedures, the testing criteria and limit values as well as the impact of Oeko-Tex certification on international business.
As a special feature this year, there will be a session on the Eco-Passport Certificate, which is a very important and critical certification for dyes, pigments, chemicals, auxiliaries etc. Representatives from quality assurance and marketing departments from all stages of textile production, buying agents and their suppliers are welcome to participate in these events.
In the fast evolving world of consumer behaviour where buyers are constantly on the look-out for value addition in their purchase decisions, the Oeko-Tex label reliably indicates to interested end users the additional benefit of tested safety for skin-friendly clothing, home textiles and other textile products. In this way, the test label plays an important decision-making tool while purchasing textile products.
In addition to that, the Oeko-Tex certificate has come to be considered a necessity by various European buyers; American buyers are also increasingly demanding more of the same. Thus, the Oeko-Tex label is an ideal marketing tool for all who need to market their products to Europe and the USA, because it incorporates the requirements of the European legislation as well as the US laws.
