Aim of Standard:
The declared objective of the independent bluesign® standard is to put a reliable and proactive tool at the disposal of the textile production chain – from raw material and component suppliers who manufacture e.g. yarns, dyes and additives, to textile manufacturers, to retailer and brand companies, to consumers. The bluesign® standard is practice-oriented. Instead of working with bans and restrictions, the bluesign® standard provides solutions for Environmental, Health, and Safety issues on all levels, from raw material and chemical components suppliers to manufacturers and retailers.
An independent standard was created that can be applied to the entire production chain and that delivers certainty at all levels, from raw material to final product, from chemical supplier to consumer. This in turn means measurable economic success for industry and trade while at the same time offering maximum consumer und environmental protection. The bluesign® standard is leading the way to a successful and healthy textile future. Worldwide.
Scope of Standard:
The classification is based on the following five assessment levels:
- Resource productivity
- Consumer safety and protection
- Air emission
- Water emission
- Occupational health and safety
