Eco Passport by Oeko-Tex is a certification system for textile chemicals (e.g. colourants, optical brighteners, antistatic agents, adhesives, cleaning agents). It was introduced in 2016. Chemicals awarded the Eco Passport label meet the requirements for sustainable textile production.[16] The certification process comprises two stages:

  1. Screening: Manufacturer’s disclosures about product ingredients are screened for chemicals that are listed in the European Union REACh regulation’s SVHC (substances of very high concern) list or in the Oeko-Tex lists of chemicals with restricted use in textile products (RSL, restricted substance list) – specified in the Standard 100 – and textile manufacturing processes (MRSL, manufacturing restricted substance list) – specified in the STeP standard. A compilation of threshold concentration requirements for groups of chemicals and individual substances is included in the Eco Passport Standard.[17]
  2. Analytical verification: Compliance with the restricted substance list’s threshold concentration requirements is verified in a laboratory analysis of a product probe in an Oeko-Tex member institute.

The Eco Passport by Oeko-Tex label can be issued to producers, traders and resellers of chemicals and is valid for one year.
