QUALITY CERTIFICATES
OEKO TEX STANDARD 100 CLASS I
SKINFRIENDLY AND HYPOALLERGENIC
The features that modern fabrics today have (adhesion, elasticity, durability, fashionable colours, etc..) cannot be obtained without the use of certain chemicals that sometimes, given precisely their not natural composition, they can be irritating to the skin or even harmful to the body. For this reason we have chosen for our products a certification of quality and non-harmfulness based on strict European standards.
Oeko-Tex ® Standard 100 is a system of control and certification uniform throughout the textile world from raw materials, semi-finished to finished products at all stages of processing.
The certification of a textile product, tested according to one of the four classes of Oeko-Tex ® product depends on its intended use: the more a product is in contact with the skin, the stricter requirements are.
Our products are all certified to Class I Oeko-Tex ®. This is the most restrictive among the classes Oeko-Tex ® and includes those textiles and textile toys for babies and children up to three years (eg underwear, romper suits, linen for cot or crib, dolls of cloth, etc.). that, being in direct contact with the skin of subjects very delicate, as far as possible must be hypoallergenic.
We chose to certify our products exactly the class with greater restrictions to be able to guarantee to all customers the highest quality and safety for human health.

A further breakthrough was made when, in collaboration with the producer of our silicone "Extra Grip" and the German Institute Hohenstein Laboratories GmbH, we have formulated a new silicone that offer even greater security with regard to its hypoallergenic.
The new silicone "Skinfriendly & Hypoallergenic" is certified by careful microbiological tests in vitro as hypoallergenic and then "friend of the skin."
In addition to the usefulness for medical devices, tests for biosafety are recommended for clothing, fabrics for sensitive skin (e.g. for children, for people with atopic dermatitis, etc..) And tissue-well-being. In this area, customers have particularly high demands with respect to safety. Our operational experience and current scientific expertise provide significant results for the safety of our customers' products.
