Together with Empa, TESTEX has refined a test based on the recommendations of the Swiss National Covid-19 Science Task Force. The textile masks are tested for their filter function, spray resistance, wear comfort, reusability and, in addition, the Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex. Every year, over twenty thousand Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex certificates are issued for manufacturers, retailers and distributors of textiles and clothing. Millions of individual items are tested extensively for regulated and non-regulated pollutants, which could potentially harm human health.

Oeko-Tex and its institutes are making an important contribution during these difficult times and have been waiving certification fees for the Standard 100 testing for community masks worldwide for several months already. In addition, TESTEX donates half of the proceeds from the testing costs for the TESTEX Community Mask label to charitable organisations. The selection of the respective organisation is made together with the customer.
