1. Raw Material Selection
Blanket Sets use natural fibers (such as pure wool and pure cotton) or low-irritant synthetic fibers, avoiding the presence of sensitizing dyes or auxiliaries.
Using yarns or fabrics that have passed Oeko-Tex Standard 100 hypoallergenic certification effectively reduces the risk of skin allergies.
2. Certification Labels
Check if the product bears the Oeko-Tex® hypoallergenic label (such as the Oeko-Tex hypoallergenic certification used in all Volvo models).
This label indicates that the product has been tested by an independent laboratory and complies with the "Restriction of Hazardous Substances Standard," and is free of sensitizing dyes, formaldehyde, heavy metals, etc.
3. Production Process Control
Blanket Sets use non-irritating finishing processes (such as low-temperature setting and chlorine-free bleaching), and hypoallergenic process reviews are implemented during the production process.
The production workshop should be equipped with an air purification system to prevent the fibers from absorbing dust or chemical residues during processing.
4. Testing Reports
The supplier should provide allergy testing reports (such as skin irritation and sensitization tests). These reports must be issued by a laboratory with ISO 17025 accreditation.
1. Organic and Recycled Fiber Ratio
Blanket Set uses GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton, wool, or recycled fibers, ensuring that raw materials originate from pesticide-free, low-energy-consumption planting or recycling systems.
2. Chemical Management
The production process must comply with OEKO-Tex® STANDARD 100 restrictions on hazardous chemicals, prohibiting the use of carcinogenic dyes, heavy metals, phthalates, etc.
The dyes and auxiliaries used must be verified through ECO-PASSPORT or STeP systems to be environmentally compliant products.
3. Environmental Management System
The company should be ISO 14001 environmental management system certified, establishing systems for the treatment and monitoring of wastewater, exhaust gas, and solid waste.
The production site must be regularly audited by third-party environmental authorities to ensure that emissions comply with local environmental regulations.
4. End-to-End Traceability
Using MADE-IN-GREEN or Bluesign labels, the entire process, from raw material procurement, yarn production, weaving, finishing to finished products, is traceable.
The traceability system requires each step to record inputs, energy consumption, and waste disposal, facilitating consumer verification.
