What is OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT

OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT logo

OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT is a certification for chemical suppliers. It is aimed at manufacturers and distributors of chemicals, dyestuffs and auxiliaries used in the textile and leather industry.

The certification verifies that every individual substance in a chemical product is not harmful to human health and that the product complies with applicable legislation – including REACH. Limit values for harmful substances are reviewed at least once a year.

ECO PASSPORT also functions as a pre-certification within the OEKO-TEX® system: certified chemicals can reduce testing costs when applying for STANDARD 100, LEATHER STANDARD and STeP.

In brief:

  • Certification of chemicals, dyestuffs and auxiliaries before they enter production
  • Can provide the basis for ZDHC certification at levels 1–3 depending on which steps are completed
  • Can function as pre-certification for STANDARD 100, LEATHER STANDARD and STeP
  • Certificate valid for one year

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:

  1. CAS number screening – The product's ingredients are compared against the OEKO-TEX® list of restricted substances
  2. Analytical verification – Laboratory testing at an OEKO-TEX®-accredited laboratory
  3. 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
