"Oeko-Tex" and the EU’s "Eco-Label" are the most influential certification for ecological textile. China also issued a national standard GB / T 18885-2002 " ecological textile technical requirements ." on November 22, 2002.

   Oeko-Tex Standard 100 standard ,as the world ’s most widely influential eco- textile standards,is about hazardous substances testing and certification for various textile and related products to ensure products harmless . Oeko-Tex Standard 100 regulated the limit of harmful substances in the yarn , textile fibers and Oeko-Tex labeling only can be used after testing and certification according to Oeko-Tex standards. Since 1992,Oeko-Tex Standard 100 would be re-accessed the control requirement ,mostly according to existing regulation of hazardous substance in countries and regions,and the new version will be issued at the beginning of every year, which is updated to 2013 version now.
