From this year, textiles with biologically active treatments are essentially banned from all four Oeko-Tex product classes; whereas previously their use was allowed for furnishing materials (PC IV), now all biologically active products come under the ACP rules.
This means that only those products may be certificated under Oeko-Tex Standard 100 which have been explicitly confirmed by an independent team of experts from the Oeko-Tex Association as not being harmful to human health. Clothing textiles treated with a flame retardant also fall under the ACP rules.
However, those textiles treated with a flame retardant remain unaffected by the new rules if they continue to be approved for certification in Product Class IV with certain restrictions.
