No. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 focuses on product safety rather than organic content. It confirms that certified textile materials have been tested for harmful substances and are safe for human use. It does not certify whether fibers are organic or how they were produced. Certifications such as OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON or GOTS address organic raw materials and sustainable production separately.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 evaluates all relevant textile components within a certified product. Depending on the product, testing may include outer fabrics, linings, insoles, laces, sewing threads, labels, webbings and other textile accessories. Every tested component must comply with strict limits for harmful substances before certification can be granted. For textile footwear, all applicable textile materials are assessed as part of the certification process.
