The OEKO-TEX® standards are updated annually to stay ahead of global regulations, incorporate new scientific health data and the latest production methods. Every January, OEKO-TEX® publishes updates to the standards as well as the test criteria and limit values – in line with consistent consumer protection and the sustainability of textiles and leather products.
Following a transition period, all new regulations go into effect April 1.
