Detailed Specifications, Process & Market Guidelines
Select a topic tab below to inspect focused engineering data, compliance rules, and sourcing workflows.
Quality system (ISO 9001)
ISO 9001 certifies how we manage purchasing, production, inspection and corrective action, not individual products. So we write “ISO 9001 certified quality management system”, never “ISO certified products”. Our inspection steps are on the Quality Control page.
OEKO-TEX® 100
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
Product testing (OEKO-TEX® and lab reports)
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a product label: an independent institute tests finished articles for harmful substances, and certificates last one year.
View Full Specification Details
Our certificate covers Spunlace nonwoven facial towels & cosmetic pads (Product Class I — Infant Safe). It certifies products, not factories, so we write “products certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100”. See the standard on the OEKO-TEX website.

What we do not claim (and why)
No “FDA approved”, “FDA certified” or “FDA registered”. FDA does not certify products or issue registration certificates, and our dry products are not FDA-regulated (see the FDA reminder on registration and listing).
No CE, UKCA, RoHS or G-Mark. These marks apply only to products their laws cover, such as medical devices, toys or electrical goods (see the EU rules on CE marking).
Not sterile, not medical-grade. A sterile label needs validated sterilization (ISO 11135 or ISO 11137) and validated packaging (ISO 11607). “Medical grade” and “hospital grade” have no legal meaning. Where true, we say “hygienically produced and individually packed”.
No antibacterial or antimicrobial claims. In most markets they turn a towel or wipe into a pesticide, biocide or drug; our China disinfection-product license does not change that abroad.
No unqualified “biodegradable” or “eco-friendly” claims. The US FTC Green Guides, EU Directive 2024/825 (applies from 27 September 2026) and the UK CMA restrict them. Where a fiber test supports it, we state “plastic-free: made from 100% viscose fibers”.
No “organic” or plain “bamboo”. Without GOTS or OCS certification, we write “100% cotton”. Towels made from bamboo pulp are “viscose made from bamboo”, as the FTC requires.
No “flushable”. Our towels, pads and wipes are not tested to a flushability standard.
Do disposable face towels need FDA registration?
Generally no.
View Full Specification Details
In the US, dry disposable face towels, cotton pads and compressed towels are consumer products, not FDA-regulated. FDA registration applies to medical devices (e.g. medical cotton swabs) and to cosmetics such as pre-moistened wipes. FDA does not issue certificates, so “FDA certified” claims are misleading.
