LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL LABOR LAWS

We abide by the laws and regulations of the Labor Department of Sri Lanka, recognized by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

We manufacture under the SA8000 standards

The SA8000 is an audit-able certification standard based on international workplace norms of International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 provides the textile and clothing industry with a globally uniform standard for the objective assessment of harmful substances for the first time. Raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of processing throughout the manufacturing chain, including accessories, are tested and certified.

The Oeko-Tex® system permits the use of source materials which already have certification, thus simplifying the flow of information between the companies involved regarding the human ecological quality of the products supplied.

Textile products may be certified according to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 only if all components meet the required criteria without exception. Certification is obtained by application in writing from the manufacturer to one of the authorized test institutes or official offices around the globe. The samples submitted are tested exclusively in the member institutes in Europe and Japan in order to ensure a consistently high level of testing.

A prerequisite for the award of certification by the relevant test institute or the responsible certification centre is a declaration of conformity by the manufacturer, stating that the successfully tested textile samples shall correspond at all times with the quality of the products manufactured or sold throughout the twelve month license period.

Another integral part of Oeko-Tex® certification is the regular product controls which the Oeko-Tex® institutes carry out regularly on the market to ensure compliance with the required criteria.
