Verification
The supplier accepts by its tender that the contract terms will be fulfilled at the specified time.
Proposed follow-up
Follow up the contract term by requesting information from the supplier that the contract term is fulfilled at the specific time, for example:
Labelling
Follow up the contract term by checking that there is a valid license for the product in question, for example:
- Ökotex Standard 100 (produktklass I, II, III, IV)
- Nordic Swan Ecolabel for Textile, hides/skins and leather
- EU Ecolabel for textile products 2014/350/EU
- GOTS
- bluesign APPROVED – BSSL (bluesign system substance list, usage range A, B, C)
For bluesign, a valid certificate can be requested from the supplier. The Supplier can receive a certificate 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
Follow up the contract term by performing spot-checks on the analysis reports and check that the values are below the limit value of the contract term for the sum of the substances. The analysis can be performed in accordance with Standard ISO14389:2022 or equivalent. Also check that the analyses were performed by an accredited laboratory.
Self-declaration verified by an accredited verification body
Follow up the contract term by requesting the supplier's self-declaration, including documentation showing that the contract term is met. The self-declaration shall be verified by an accredited verification body that is accredited for the task in accordance with ISO/IEC 17029 or equivalent standard.
Information about the criterion
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. More information about the standard and accredited verification bodies can be found on Swedac's website.
