Mar. 23 2022

Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services (BVCPS) is pleased to announce it has been accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and officially obtained the accreditation of Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS). BVCPS has enhanced its Sustainable Claims Solutions with the additional accreditation to perform GOTS Certification full scope of services, as well as Textile Exchange’s Organic Content Standard (OCS).

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a voluntary standard, that covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic natural fibers. The final products may include but are not limited to fiber products, yarns, fabrics, garments, fashion textile accessories (carried or worn), textile toys, home textiles, mattresses and bedding, and textile personal care products.

Therefore, processors, manufacturers, traders, and retailers need to demonstrate their ability to comply with the relevant GOTS criteria in the corresponding certification procedure.

  • Scope 1: Mechanical textile processing and manufacturing operations and their products
  • Scope 2: Wet processing and finishing operations and their products
  • Scope 3: Trading operations and related products
