entific findings from chemistry, medicine and related areas of research all feed into the process.
       4、 國際環(huán)保紡織協會測試機構的工作準則是什么？what are the principles on which the test institutes of the International Oeko-Tex Association work?

       在90年代，協會的先驅者——奧地利紡織研究院和德國海恩斯坦研究院——在當時已存在的對紡織品有害物質測定的規(guī)定的基礎上，共同開發(fā)制定了Oeko-Tex Standard 100測試標準。他們每年共同更新和完善這些標準以滿足新的要求?？傮w來講，該標準已超越現有的國家法定規(guī)定的范圍。

       全世界各國際環(huán)保紡織協會測試機構都使用同一套測試方法和規(guī)程。

       At the start of the 90s the founding fathers – the Austrian Textile Research Institute in Vienna and the German Hohenstein Research Institute in Bonnigheim – developed the concept of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and list of criteria, based on existing test regulations relating to harmful substances. This list of criteria is jointly updated every year and adapted to comply with the latest requirements. In its entirety, it goes far beyond existing national legal regulations.

       All of the test institutes around the world work according to the same set test methods and regulations.

       5、 Oeko-Tex Standard 100標準的國際性角色？

       因為不同國家有不同的法定規(guī)定和安全定義，同時又因為紡織行業(yè)生產的國際化，需要建立一個對紡織品有害物質測試的通用安全標準。

       一整套測試項目的要求使得世界各國紡織行業(yè)公司比較注重紡織品的有害物質的問題。

       Because of the differences that exist with regard to legal requirements and safety concepts in different countries, and the way work is spread internationally in the textile chain, a common safety standard for harmful substances is needed.

       The requirements in the extensive list of criteria make the companies involved worldwide more sensitive to problematic harmful substances.
