Labelling Guide

EmpCo Recommendation

Use of OEKO-TEX® Labels and Logos 

The OEKO-TEX® Labelling Guide provides text and visual examples showing how to correctly use the OEKO-TEX® product brand logos (trademarks) and labels. 

The examples shown are intended as recommendations. They are designed to ensure that your communications comply with the requirements of Directive (EU) 2024/825 (the "EmpCo Directive"). 

Additional Information for B2C Communication 

If you wish to further explain or specify your statement to consumers, please use only the B2C wording we provide for this purpose. You can find this wording in the standard-specific section of this Labelling Guide — place the B2C Claim directly next to the relevant OEKO-TEX® label. 

Important Notice 

Deviating or self-formulated statements carry the risk of being classified as an impermissible generic environmental claim ("greenwashing"). 

If you are uncertain, or wish to deviate from our recommendations, please contact communication@oekotex.com in advance. We will work with you to clarify whether and how the intended deviation can be implemented in a compliant manner.
