to OEKO-TEX® partners who need towork with one uniform label for productmarketing communication. The summary
certificate is the basis for the advertisment
label. OEKO-TEX® recognizes the need tobroadly give a reference to OEKO-TEX®
on marketing materials, such as catalogues,
brochures and POS (Point of Sale) material.

Please note:X Must never be displayed on products or
product marketing, materials e.g., tags,
hangtags, product packaging or productwebsites.

If the advertisement label is used, it must
be clear which products are STANDARD 100
certified and which are not. This is doneby distinguishing STANDARD 100 certified
products with the product labels (or text
reference). The advertisement label canonly be used if at least one product ismarked with the specific physical productlabel.

OEKO-TEX® Labelling Guide

The user of the advertisement label is
responsible that certified products areclearly marked with the product label tocreate consumer transparency and avoid
confusion between STANDARD 100 certified
and non certified products.
It is mandatory that the displayed label
includes all the mandatory components fora STANDARD 100 label (see page 31).

General Informationc. How to use the ORGANIC COTTON label on productHow to use the ORGANIC COTTON label on marketing materials

The OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON label
may be used on products and productpackaging to identify specific products thathave qualified for that label.

The ORGANIC COTTON label should be
used on product marketing materials.
It can be used to promote OEKO-TEX®
ORGANIC COTTON certified products
through catalogues, flyers, product websites
or any other media such as Social Media
in connection with a ORGANIC COTTON
certified product.

OEKO-TEX® strongly recommends using thelabel to promote products. However, we
recognise that sometimes the designsolution won’t allow it. In these cases, asecond option to promote the ORGANICCOTTON certified products is available. Thisis done through text, which shall be in visualadjacency to the promoted product.

The connection with the certified productmust be always recognisable and visible foreveryone. Therefore, only those goods
may be advertised with an ORGANICCOTTON label which are actually certified.
This means that a ORGANIC COTTON
label may only be displayed in brochures,catalogues, online shops or other media
such as Social Media in connection withthe product whose ORGANIC COTTON
certificate number it bears.

The text must contain the following
information: full product brand name,certificate number, instituteThe label should be visibly placed and easy
to access for consumers on hangtag, tag,woven label or packaging.
The use of an OEKO-TEX®
ORGANIC COTTON label to promotecertified products is highly recommended
but not mandated by OEKO-TEX®.

we recognise that sometimes the designsolution won’t allow it. In these cases, asecond option to promote the LEATHERSTANDARD certified products is available.
This is done through text, which shall be invisual adjacency to the promoted product.

The connection with the certified productmust be always recognisable and visible foreveryone. Therefore, only those goods may
be advertised with an LEATHER STANDARD
label which are actually certified. Thismeans that a LEATHER STANDARD
label may only be displayed in brochures,catalogues, online shops or other media
such as Social Media in connection withthe product whose LEATHER STANDARD
product ID it bears.

The text must contain the following
information: full product brand name,certificate number, instituteThe label should be visibly placed and easy
