VIENNA – OETI (Institut für Ökologie, Technik und Innovation) has unveiled its new Inspected Quality label, developed for products which are composed of 100 per cent natural fibres.
In addition to being made entirely of natural fibres, products eligible for certification must also be produced regionally and in what the institute classifies as an ‘environmentally-friendly’ way.
The institute says its new certification relies on a dual-system to check compliance with the relevant criteria; this includes the submission of test reports and/or documents, plus an audit once every three years.
