Oeko-Tex, an association of research and test institutes in textile, has announced that it will waive the license fee for Standard 100 certification of mouth and nose masks with immediate affect. With the current demand and expert recommendations to wear mouth and nose coverings in public, Oeko-Tex wants to support continued safety of the population.
"We need to stay together in this extraordinary situation: now and for our future," Georg Dieners, general secretary at Oeko-Tex, said in a press release. "The crisis challenges many manufacturers who are confronted with a logistically difficult task.”
This industry support follows the process modifications for certificate renewals during the Corona pandemic. This adjustment offers an important service for producers of face masks while ensuring continued sustainability and public safety from harmful substances during the corona crisis.
