OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT
OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT is an independent third-party certification for chemicals, dyestuffs and auxiliaries used in the manufacture of textile and leather products. The certification verifies that the chemicals meet defined safety criteria – before they enter production.
What is OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT
Who is the certification for?
ECO PASSPORT is relevant for:
- Manufacturers and distributors of chemicals, dyestuffs and auxiliaries for the textile and leather industry who want to document and communicate responsible chemical management
- Brands and purchasing organisations that require verified chemical safety in their supply chain
- Manufacturing companies preparing for STeP or STANDARD 100 certification
How it works
ECO PASSPORT consists of three stages, of which the first two are mandatory:
- CAS number screening – The product's ingredients are compared against the OEKO-TEX® list of restricted substances
- Analytical verification – Laboratory testing at an OEKO-TEX®-accredited laboratory
- Self-assessment and on-site visit – Review of the company's chemical management practices (optional, required for ZDHC levels 2–3)
Benefits of ECO PASSPORT certification
For chemical suppliers:
- Independent verification that products meet safety requirements
- Listing in the OEKO-TEX® Buying Guide and ZDHC Gateway
- Builds trust with customers and business partners
- Can reduce testing costs for downstream OEKO-TEX® certifications
For brands and purchasing organisations:
- Concrete documentation of chemical safety in the supply chain
- Facilitates compliance with REACH and other regulations
- Supports due diligence work
