GOTS  is  the  worldwide  leading  textile
                              processing  standard  for  organic  fibers,
                              including  ecological  and  social  criteria,
                              backed  up  by  independent  certification  of
                              the entire textile supply chain.


           Having  one  common  standard  means  textile  processors  and  manufacturers  can  export  their  fabrics
           and garments with one organic certification that is accepted in all major markets.
           This transparency also gives consumers the power to choose truly organic products sourced from green
           supply chains.


           The Standard provides for a subdivision into two label-grades:

                  "made with (x %) organic materials" or                           "organic" or
                  "made with (x %) organic - in conversion                   "organic - in conversion"
                                materials"

              No less than 70% (≥70%) of the fiber content of          No less than 95% (≥95%) of the fiber
               the products - excluding accessories - shall be          content of the products - excluding
                   of certified organic origin or from the 'in       accessories - shall be of certified organic
                             conversion' period                       origin or from the 'in conversion' period









                              The standard is used to verify organically grown raw materials from the farm to
                              the final product.

                              Intended  for  the  sustainable  labeling  of  clothes  of  mixed  fiber,  part  of  which
                              consists of organic cotton with a minimum 5%-maximum 95%.
