Ecology means a more livable, safe and clean environment. The development of technology and the emergence of new techniques are good, but they have also brought environmental pollution. This situation, which was not noticed and ignored in the beginning, caused ozone depletion in a short time, decreased green areas, increased air and water pollution and many other negative conditions. In the face of this situation, all countries and organizations, especially developed countries, have started to draw attention to the existence of danger and create a sensitive public opinion. Within this framework, while industrialization and development are being carried out, new measures to protect the environment have been started to be considered.

It is a fact that the cost of the measures to be taken before the pollution of the nature is much less than the cost of bringing the polluted nature back to its previous state. But more importantly, it is not possible to restore the deteriorated ecological balance to its previous state. Therefore, everyone is now thinking about how to maintain industrialization by preserving nature.

The ISO 1987 Quality Standards System, published by the International Standards Organization in 9000, has forced industrialists to think in terms of the environment. In this way, the lowest amount of raw materials used, reducing the use of energy in business processes, turning to clean energy sources, the use of packaging materials that do not harm human health, packaging materials in the nature of issues such as the destruction of packaging materials has begun to be discussed more. These efforts have started to be demonstrated by all operators operating in each sector and not in certain sectors.

In this process, the textile sector, which is the most important sector for our country, was deeply affected. Especially for textile companies that export to European Union countries, ecological production of textile products has become a sought-after condition.

Ecological textiles or eco-textiles, which are widely heard today, are produced with the consideration of the environment in all production stages from obtaining them as fibers to finished products, which do not harm people during their use and which can be recycled and used in harmless products in a short time. means product that can be transformed.

What Does Azotex Standard Mean?

Protecting the ecological balance and ensuring sustainable natural conditions have become increasingly important for people and communities. In order to achieve this balance, it is important that the products produced are compatible with nature and do not harm human health. Based on these considerations, the Intersystem Technical Certification Organization (IFS) has developed the Azotex standard. The Azotex standard provides the necessary structure for the destruction of the products produced in this context.

The main objective of the Azotex standard is to detect products that can be destroyed in nature and do not contain hazardous chemicals, azo dyes, carcinogenic substances, heavy metals, harmful physical and biological elements. In this way, consumers are served. Azo dyestuffs ensure that the dye used in textile is fully integrated into the product.

Today, conscious consumers now want to use ecological and organic products considering their health. In order to be able to take place in the market, manufacturers must produce in accordance with the specified standards. What lies at the heart of today's production approach is that the companies that make production must produce what they want, not what they produce. Firms engaged in ecological and healthy production have started to increase their market shares and earnings.

In non-ecological textile products, unhealthy products are tested and separated according to certain standards. The Azotex standard tries to control the pests found in textile products with the test criteria and methods used.

Features of Azotex Standard

The Azotex standard has three main approaches: production ecology, human ecology and waste ecology.

In terms of properties, too much water, air, chemicals and energy are consumed in the textile sector. In order to give the color, texture, attitude and similar properties demanded by consumers to textile products, chemicals and dyestuffs are applied in various amounts and conditions. Production ecology is mainly concerned with elements that are harmful to nature and human health that arise during these process stages. Natural fibers and cotton are preferred in ecological textile production. In particular, cotton is important in terms of being a natural source fiber, having air permeability, moisture absorption and hygienic properties. However, since cotton requires plenty of water, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, it can be said to be ecologically harmful.

Human ecology covers the effects of ready-made clothing on people. Contact of textile products to people through the skin may cause harm by inhalation or digestion.

On the other hand, waste technology is based on the principle that the finished textile products can be recycled without the formation of harmful substances or easily destroyed in nature.

What are the Azotex Test Criteria?

The scope of the Azotex test criteria can be explained as follows:

      Substances which have cancer-making properties, azo dyes harmful to health, substances that give color to the raw material and substances that are prohibited for use by the relevant laws and regulations.

      Heavy metals, plasticizers and substances restricted by their use in the relevant laws and regulations.

      Substances which are not contrary to the relevant laws and regulations or whose status is not determined by legal regulations, but which are suspected to be used for human health.

      Dyestuffs with unknown or allegic properties.

      Organic tin compounds and pesticides. (Pesticides are substances used to prevent, control or eliminate harmful organisms).

      Factors such as color disease that affect human health and pH value that does not harm the skin.

The Azotex standard contains the test conditions and the required values ​​for these test criteria.

In short, the Azotex standards define substances that are undesirable in the textile products and contain substances with a structure and test criteria and methods for the determination of these substances with internationally accepted standards.

Azotex Reliable Textile Certification Works

Azotex certification studies and tests provide control and confidence in textile products in the light of the current legal regulations and play an important role in improving the product and quality of life of the manufacturers and consumers.

Azotex Reliable Textile Certificate is a proof for production and sales of qualified products in terms of human health and protection of nature. This document is very important in that it makes it necessary to carry out the necessary checks to determine that the textile products meet the criteria stipulated by the standard.

For Azotex standard conformity tests and certification studies, the manufacturer must apply to a certification body together with an application form and product samples. The scope of the tests may vary depending on the specific characteristics of the test sample, the intended purpose and the production processes. After the products are tested and it is seen that the results meet the requirements of Azotex standard, Azotex Reliable Textile Certificate is issued and delivered to the company.

The Azotex standard is designed for companies engaged in production in the textile sector and the Azotex Certificate is issued to companies working in this sector. The companies that may request this document in terms of their fields of activity are: textile companies, garment companies, leather clothing companies, fabric manufacturers, textile importers, textile exporter companies and shoe manufacturers.

Azotex standard is in parallel with the legal regulations of our country. In this respect, legal regulations are closely monitored and necessary updates are made when necessary.

our organization TÜRCERT Technical Control and Certification Inc., Azotex Reliable Textile certification studies, national and international accreditation organizations based on the authority is carried out.
