👜 OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD Certification – Confidence in Safe Leather Products

What is OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD?

OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD is an internationally recognized certification that ensures leather articles are tested for harmful substances and are safe for human health and skin contact. It covers all types of leather and leather goods at every stage of production—from raw materials to finished products.

This certification gives manufacturers, retailers, and consumers confidence that the leather used meets strict global safety standards.

Why LEATHER STANDARD Certification Matters

Leather products are often treated with chemicals during tanning, dyeing, and finishing. Without proper testing, there’s a risk of exposure to:

  • ❌ Harmful heavy metals (e.g., chromium VI)

  • ❌ Formaldehyde

  • ❌ Allergenic dyes

  • ❌ Hazardous preservatives or surfactants

OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD protects your customers by ensuring leather goods are:

  • ✅ Free from dangerous chemicals

  • 🧪 Tested by accredited laboratories

  • 📜 Compliant with strict international regulations (like REACH, CPSIA)

What Products Can Be Certified?

Any product made with leather or a leather component can be certified, including:

  • 👞 Footwear

  • 👜 Handbags, wallets, belts

  • 🧥 Leather garments and gloves

  • 🚗 Automotive interiors

  • 🛋️ Furniture upholstery

  • 🧸 Baby and children’s leather products

Both natural leather and synthetic leather-like materials can be tested and certified.

What Does LEATHER STANDARD Certification Involve?

The certification process includes:

  1. Product Submission & Risk Assessment

  2. Testing in OEKO-TEX® Partner Laboratories

  3. Evaluation Against Hundreds of Regulated Substances

  4. Annual Renewal and Surveillance

Certified products receive a label with a unique ID, allowing buyers to verify the product’s testing and safety online.
