How can I know whether the supplier owns Oeko-Tex certificate

As a TPU tape manufacturer focusing on high-end apparel, Yunze send TPU tape sample to Switzerland to receive Oeko-Tex certificate every year. It will take several months from sending sample to testing sample. And finally, we receive the certificate if the sample passed all tests. Oeko-Tex certificate gives guarantee to purchasers: the product is eco-friendly and does no harm to people’s health. However, we got a feedback from Oeko-Tex that some suppliers falsify the certificate. That’s easy to understand. Some TPU tape traders get Oeko-tex certificate with information of Yunze from us, then falsify the original company information to that of their own. It confused purchasers. So how to distinguish whether the certificate is real?

 

Actually, Oeko-Tex certificate has two document types. One is electronic document while another one is paper type. But both of them are clearly colorized. Since the electronic document is encrypted, no one can export the electronic certificate to picture processing software such as Photoshop. Of course, the document can not be altered unless you have passwords. However, even the certificate owner doesn’t know the passwords. So some suppliers would try to print the certificate and scan it to computer. Then alter the copy document. If you found the certificate have these three doubtful points, it may be fake.

 

1. The pattern or word isn’t clear enough. That’s the scent of printing and scanning.

 

2. The certificate is black and white. This is the obvious scent. Certificate owner has no reason to change it from colorized to black.

 

3. Number. Each Oeko-Tex certificate has a number to connect corresponding sample and company information. Purchasers can put in the number to search box of Oeko-Tex official website. Then the product supplier will be shown. If the information is different from that on the certificate you got, it must be fake. We have another article to illustrate how to search Oeko-Tex number. Hope that will help you.


Actually, to search number is the only accurate way to distinguish the reality. Certificate owner may also add his logo watermark on it and send colorized copy type to purchasers. It's a method for certificate owner to protect his rights and interests.
