7 International Standards Used in the Modern Textile Industry

22 Nov 2025 | News Category: -

Before purchasing a textile product, you may have noticed various certification logos displayed on its packaging or a company’s website. From OEKO-TEX and ISO 9001:2015 to BCI, many people recognize the logos, but not everyone understands what these certifications mean — or why they matter. In today’s textile industry, which increasingly demands quality, safety, transparency, and sustainability, these certifications help Us provide the best assurance for You.

In this article, We highlight seven key international standards widely used and highly relevant in the modern textile industry, along with their functions and benefits.

1. OEKO-TEX® Standard: Ensuring Safe Products for Consumers

What is OEKO-TEX?

OEKO-TEX is one of the most recognized textile certifications worldwide. It ensures that every fabric, yarn, or textile material is free from harmful chemicals and safe to use, including for babies and sensitive skin.

Why is it important?

For You as the end user, this certification guarantees that the product You purchase does not contain toxic substances such as formaldehyde, pesticides, heavy metals, or banned dyes.

2. ISO 9001:2015: A Global Quality Management Standard

What is ISO 9001:2015?

ISO 9001:2015 is an international standard for quality management systems. It evaluates how companies manage their production processes to ensure consistency and control.

Benefits for You

With this standard, We ensure that every batch of yarn or fabric You order maintains stable quality, minimal defects, and is produced through clear and regulated procedures.

3. U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol: Sustainable Cotton with Full Transparency

What is the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol?

This program originates from the United States and ensures that cotton is produced responsibly, transparently, and sustainably. Production data is digitally verified, covering water usage, soil health, and carbon footprint.

Why is this relevant?

If You need cotton-based products with strong traceability, this certification proves that the raw materials We use meet global sustainability standards.

4. INDI 4.0: Industry Readiness Index for Digital Transformation

What is INDI 4.0?

INDI 4.0 is a standard developed by the Indonesian Ministry of Industry to assess how prepared factories are for the Industry 4.0 era. It evaluates automation, digital integration, big data, and IoT implementation.

Relevance to the Modern Textile Industry

If a textile factory has passed INDI 4.0, as We have, it means the production process is already supported by modern technology that improves precision, efficiency, and fulfilment speed for Your orders.

5. TKDN (Domestic Component Level): Supporting National Industry

What is TKDN?

TKDN is a certification issued by the Indonesian government that indicates the percentage of production components sourced domestically.

Why is it important?

With a high TKDN value, We ensure that the textile products You receive support local industries, reduce dependence on imports, and meet requirements for various government tenders and B2B projects.

6. TextileGenesis: Blockchain-Based Supply Chain Traceability

What is TextileGenesis?

TextileGenesis is a blockchain-powered platform used by global textile producers, especially within the cotton, viscose, and recycled fiber supply chains. It ensures that the origin of raw materials can be digitally traced and cannot be manipulated.

Benefits for You

You receive full transparency from fiber origin to finished product — a requirement increasingly demanded by global brands and international buyers.

7. BCI (Better Cotton Initiative): The World’s Largest Sustainable Cotton Program

What is BCI?

BCI is a global initiative promoting cotton farming practices that are more environmentally friendly, water-efficient, and focused on improving farmer welfare.

Benefits for Users

If Your textile products are made from BCI-certified cotton, it means the raw materials were produced ethically and sustainably, in line with global market expectations.
