Proposed follow-up
.Labelling
If the contract terms have been verified with a label, check that there is a valid license for the product in question.
Valid license for any of for example the following labels. This can be checked on each website:
- Ökotex Standard 100 (produktklass I, II, III, IV) 2021-2023
- EU Ecolabel for textile products 2014/350/EU
- GOTS, version 6.0 (2020) eller version 7.0 (2023)
- bluesign APPROVED – BSSL (bluesign system substance list, usage range A, B, C), version 12 or 13
If the requirement has been verified with bluesign a valid certificate can be requested from the supplier. The Supplier can receive a certrificate from its “bluesign system partner” in the supply chain. bluesign APPROVED covers the different textiles. If bluesign APPROVED is used as verification a certificate for each ingoing textile in the product is needed.
Analysis report
If the contract terms have been verified with analysis reports, perform spot-checks on the analysis reports and check that the values are below the requirement limit value for each dye or pigment. Also check that the analyses were performed by an accredited laboratory.
Self-declaration verified by an accredited verification body
If the contract terms have been verified with a self-declaration request the company's self-declaration including technical documentation of compliance that has been verified by an accredited verification body, accredited for the task in accordance with ISO/IEC 17029.
Information about the criterion
Keep in mind that the choice of color on the textiles that are procured affects which pigments and dyes are included in the textile. When choosing specific colors, it can be good to have a dialogue with the supplier to avoid environmentally and health-hazardous pigments and dyes.
There are currently a limited number of accredited verification bodies according to ISO / IEC 17029 (Conformity assessment - General principles and requirements for validation and verification bodies), as it is a relatively new standard. However, this may change, especially if the demand for verifying compliance in this way increases. This possibility is therefore included in the list of possible verifications. More information about the standard is available at www.swedac.se.
