I-OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 iqinisekisa izindwangu njengezingenazo izinto eziyingozi, okuyenza ibaluleke kakhulu ezimpahleni zokuluka ezifanele isikhumba, ezizinzile. Lesi sitifiketi siqinisekisa ukuphepha komkhiqizo, sisekela amaketanga okunikezela asobala, futhi sisiza imikhiqizo ukuthi ihlangabezane nokulindelwe ngabathengi okukhulayo kwemfashini ekhathalela impilo, ebophezelekile kumvelo.
Embonini yendwangu yanamuhla, ukubeka izinto obala akusakhetheki—kulindelekile. Abathengi bafuna ukwazi hhayi kuphela ukuthi izingubo zabo zenziwe ngani, kodwa ukuthi zenziwa kanjani. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi ngezingubo zokuluka, ezivame ukugqokwa eduze kwesikhumba, ezisetshenziselwa izingane kanye nezingane, futhi zimelela ingxenye ekhulayo yemfashini esimeme.
Esinye sezitifiketi eziqashelwa kabanzi eziqinisekisa ukuphepha nokusimama kwendwangu yi-OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. Kodwa isho ukuthini ngempela le lebula, futhi kungani kufanele abathengi, abaklami, nabakhiqizi abasemkhathini wezingubo eziluthiweyo?
Ake sikhiphe ukuthi i-OEKO-TEX® imele ini ngempela nokuthi ililolonga kanjani ikusasa lokukhiqizwa kwendwangu.
1. Liyini Izinga le-OEKO-TEX®?
I-OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 iwuhlelo oluqashelwa umhlaba wonke lwezindwangu oluhlolelwe izinto eziyingozi. Ithuthukiswe yi-International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile and Leather Ecology, izinga lisiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo wendwangu uphephile empilweni yomuntu.
Imikhiqizo ethola isitifiketi se-OEKO-TEX® ihlolwe ngokuqhathaniswa nohlu lwezinto ezifika kwezingama-350 ezilawulwayo nezingalawulwa, okuhlanganisa:
- Formaldehyde
- Udayi we-Azo
-Izinsimbi ezinzima
-Izinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane
- Ama-Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Okubalulekile, isitifiketi akusona nje esezingubo eziqediwe. Sonke isiteji—kusukela entanjeni namadayi kuya ezinkinobho namalebula—kufanele sihlangabezane nemibandela yokuthi umkhiqizo uphathe ilebula ye-OEKO-TEX®.
2. Kungani I-Knitwear Idinga I-OEKO-TEX® Kakhulu Kunangaphambili
I-Knitwear isondelene.Amajezi, izingqimba eziyisisekelo, izikhafu, futhiizingubo zomntwanazigqokwa ngqo esikhumbeni, ngezinye izikhathi amahora amaningi. Yilokho okwenza isitifiketi sokuphepha sibaluleke kakhulu kulesi sigaba somkhiqizo.
-Ukuxhumana Kwesikhumba
Amafayibha angakhulula izinsalela ezicasula isikhumba esibucayi noma abangele ukungezwani komzimba.
-Babywear Izicelo
Amasosha omzimba ezingane kanye nezithiyo zesikhumba zisakhula, okwenza zibe sengozini enkulu yokuchayeka amakhemikhali.
-Izindawo Ezizwelayo
Imikhiqizo efana nama-leggings,ama-turtlenecks, nezingubo zangaphansi zihlangana isikhathi eside nezingxenye ezibucayi kakhulu zomzimba.
Ngenxa yalezi zizathu, amabhrendi amaningi aphendukela kuzingubo zokugqoka eziqinisekisiwe ze-OEKO-TEX® njengemfuneko eyisisekelo—hhayi ibhonasi—kumakhasimende akhathalela impilo futhi aqaphela imvelo.
3.Asebenza Kanjani Amalebula e-OEKO-TEX®—futhi Kungani Kufanele Ukhathalele?
Kunezitifiketi eziningi ze-OEKO-TEX®, ngasinye sikhuluma ngezigaba noma izici ezihlukene zokukhiqizwa kwendwangu:
✔ I-OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
Iqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo wendwangu uhlolelwa izinto eziyingozi futhi uphephile ukusetshenziswa abantu.
✔ Kwenziwe Ngokuluhlaza yi-OEKO-TEX®
Iqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo wenziwe ezindaweni ezivumelana nemvelo nangaphansi kwezimo zokusebenza ezinomthwalo wemfanelo emphakathini, ngaphezu kokuhlolwa amakhemikhali.
✔ STeP (Ukukhiqizwa Kwezindwangu Okuqhubekayo)
Ihlose ukwenza ngcono izici zemvelo nezenhlalo zezindawo zokukhiqiza.
Kumabhrendi wezingubo ezimbathiwe ezigxile ekulandelekeni, ilebula ethi Made in Green inikeza isiqinisekiso esiphelele.
4. Izingozi Zendwangu Engaqinisekisiwe
Masikhulume iqiniso: akuzona zonke izindwangu ezidalwe zilingana. Izindwangu ezingaqinisekisiwe zingaqukatha:
I-Formaldehyde, evame ukusetshenziselwa ukuvimbela ukushwabana, kodwa ixhunywe ezinkingeni zesikhumba nezokuphefumula.
-Odayi be-Azo, abanye babo abangakhipha ama-amine abangela umdlavuza.
-Izinsimbi ezisindayo, ezisetshenziswa kumbala kanye nasekuqedeni, zinganqwabelana emzimbeni.
-Izinsalela ze-pesticide, ikakhulukazi ukotini ongewona ophilayo, ongabangela ukuphazamiseka kwamahomoni.
-Izinhlanganisela eziguquguqukayo, ezibangela ubuhlungu bekhanda noma ukungezwani komzimba.
Ngaphandle kwezitifiketi, ayikho indlela yokuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwendwangu. Lokho kuyingozi abathengi abaningi be-knitwear abangazimisele ukuyithatha.
5. Kusebenza Kanjani Ukuhlolwa kwe-OEKO-TEX®?
Ukuhlola kulandela umthetho olandelwayo oqinile nowesayensi.
- Ukuhanjiswa kwesampula
Abakhiqizi bahambisa amasampula ezintambo, izindwangu, odayi, kanye nokunqunywa.
-Laboratory Testing
Amalebhu azimele e-OEKO-TEX® ahlola amakhulukhulu amakhemikhali anobuthi nezinsalela, ngokusekelwe kudatha yesayensi ethuthuke kakhulu nezimfuneko zomthetho.
-Isabelo Sekilasi
Imikhiqizo ihlukaniswe yaba amakilasi amane ngokusekelwe esimweni sokusetshenziswa:
Ikilasi I: Izihloko zezingane
Ikilasi II: Izinto ezithintana ngqo nesikhumba
Ikilasi III: Cha noma ukuthintana kwesikhumba okuncane
I-Class IV: Izinto zokuhlobisa
Isitifiketi Sikhishiwe
Umkhiqizo ngamunye oqinisekisiwe unikezwa isitifiketi se-Standard 100 esinenombolo yelebula ehlukile nesixhumanisi sokuqinisekisa.
-Ukuvuselelwa Konyaka
Isitifiketi kufanele sivuselelwe njalo ngonyaka ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthotshelwa okuqhubekayo.
6. Ingabe i-OEKO-TEX® Iqinisekisa Kuphela Ukuphepha Komkhiqizo—noma Ingabe Ibonisa Nochungechunge Lwakho Lokuthenga?
Izitifiketi azibonisi nje ukuphepha komkhiqizo—zibonisa ukubonakala kochungechunge lokunikezela.
Isibonelo, ilebula ethi "Made in Green" isho ukuthi:
-Uyazi lapho intambo yayiphothwa khona.
-Uyazi ukuthi ubani owadaya indwangu.
-Uyazazi izimo zokusebenza zemboni yokuthunga.
Lokhu kuhambisana nesidingo esikhulayo esivela kubathengi nabathengi sokuthola izinto ezilungile, nokungafihli lutho.
7. Ufuna Izingubo Zokugqoka Eziphephile, Ezisimeme? Nakhu ukuthi Kuqhubeka Kanjani Ukudiliva.
Phambili, sikholwa ukuthi wonke umthungo uxoxa indaba—futhi yonke intambo esiyisebenzisayo kufanele iphephe, ilandeleke, futhi iqhubeke.
Sisebenza nezigayo nezindlu zikadayi ezihlinzeka ngezintambo eziqinisekisiwe ze-OEKO-TEX®, okuhlanganisa:
-I-merino wool ecwebe kakhulu
-Ukotini we-organic
-Izingxube zikakotini ze-organic
-I-cashmere eyenziwe kabusha
Imikhiqizo yethu ayikhethelwanga ubuciko bayo kuphela kodwa ngenxa yokuthobelana nezitifiketi zemvelo nezenhlalo.Siyakwamukela ukukhuluma nathi noma nini.
8. Ifundwa kanjani ilebula ye-OEKO-TEX®
Abathengi kufanele babheke le mininingwane kulebula:
Inombolo yelebula (ingaqinisekiswa ku-inthanethi)
-Isigaba sesitifiketi (I-IV)
-Isebenza kuze kube yimanje
- Ububanzi (wonke umkhiqizo noma indwangu kuphela)
Uma ungabaza, vakashela i-Iwebhusayithi ye-OEKO-TEX®bese ufaka inombolo yelebula ukuze uqinisekise ubuqiniso.
9. I-OEKO-TEX® Iqhathaniswa Kanjani Ne-GOTS kanye Nezinye Izitifiketi?
Nakuba i-OEKO-TEX® igxile ekuphepheni kwamakhemikhali, amanye amazinga esinawo afana ne-GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) agxile kulokhu:
-Okuqukethwe kwe-organic fiber
-Ukuphathwa kwemvelo
-Ukuhambisana nomphakathi
Ayaphelelisana, awashintsheki. Umkhiqizo obhalwe “ukotini wemvelo” awuhlolelwa izinsalela zamakhemikhali ngaphandle uma uphethe i-OEKO-TEX®.
10. Ingabe Ibhizinisi Lakho Likulungele Ukwamukela Izindwangu Eziphephile, Ezihlakaniphile?
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumklami, noma umthengi, isitifiketi se-OEKO-TEX® akuseyona into enhle ukuba ube nayo—okufanele ube nayo. Ivikela amakhasimende akho, iqinise izimangalo zomkhiqizo wakho, futhi igcine umkhiqizo wakho unobufakazi besikhathi esizayo.
Emakethe egqugquzelwa kakhulu izinqumo zokuqaphela imvelo, i-OEKO-TEX® isignali ethule yokuthi izingubo zakho zokuluka ziyahlangabezana nesikhathi.
Ungavumeli amakhemikhali ayingozi abeke engcupheni amanani omkhiqizo wakho.Thintana manjeukuthola izembatho eziqinisekisiwe ze-OEKO-TEX® ezinokunethezeka, ukuphepha, nokusimama eyakhelwe ngaphakathi.
