Quality certified by independent audit.

Every certificate number and issuing body is printed both on the certificate wall and on that certificate’s own page; where the scheme has an online verification portal, the link sits next to the document. The OEKO-TEX numbers (13.HTR.34221 · 21.HTR.93044 · 23.HTR.99329) can be checked on OEKO-TEX Label Check and the GRS/RCS scope certificate (CU860948MUL-2025-00108468) in Textile Exchange’s Find Certified Company directory; the Higg modules can be looked up on the Worldly platform by facility ID (Worldly ID 148544) if you have platform access. For the ISO certificates you can query the issuing body directly with the number — IQR International for QMS-008888, Avacert International for ENMS-20.26/08653-0702.

ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 were issued by IQR International under IAS accreditation MSCB-135. ISO 10002 also comes from IQR International, but that certificate carries no accreditation mark, and we leave that field empty exactly as the document does. ISO 50001 was issued by Avacert International under IAS · MSCB-301. GRS/RCS was audited by Control Union (IOAS · TE-00108513); the OEKO-TEX credentials come from Hohenstein and the Higg modules from Cascale/Worldly.

You read it correctly: the three files are not the certificate itself but the OEKO-TEX label button. Each carries only the OEKO-TEX logo, the words STANDARD 100, the test number (13.HTR.34221 · 21.HTR.93044 · 23.HTR.99329), the name of the issuing institute (Hohenstein), a verification QR code and the address www.oeko-tex.com — no expiry date, product class or scope appears on the label button. Query the number on OEKO-TEX Label Check to see the current status; the full certificate is shared on request.

Both are correct and they do not conflict. “Certification Period: 3 Years”, printed on all five of our ISO certificates, defines the length of the certification cycle: within that cycle, annual surveillance audits follow the initial certification, the certificate is reissued at each audit, and a recertification audit falls due at the end of the third year. What binds is the validity date printed on the document — 25.06.2025–24.06.2027 on our ISO 9001, ISO 10002, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certificates, and 23.06.2026–22.06.2027 on ISO 50001.

ISO certificates run on a three-year cycle with surveillance audits, while OEKO-TEX and GRS/RCS renew annually. Renewal audits do not stop the production flow; each credential’s current validity window is stated on its card on the certificates page.

The renewal calendar runs independently of the production plan and is scheduled ahead so no gap occurs. The copy of the credential valid on your shipment date can be supplied with the shipping documents on request.

Yes. Each credential has its own detail page carrying a downloadable copy and an independent verification link. If you need a current set for your own audit file, you can request it through the contact form.

It is the same legal entity: the branch is not a separate company but a registered branch of the same limited company. On the five ISO certificates the company name is printed in Turkish as “FERSAN TEKSTİL TİCARET VE SANAYİ LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ ÇORLU ŞUBESİ” (Fersan Tekstil Ticaret ve Sanayi Limited Şirketi, Çorlu branch), with the address “VELİMEŞE ORGANİZE SANAYİ BÖLGESİ MAH. 233. SOK. NO:35/1 ERGENE / TEKİRDAĞ” — the certificate is issued in the name of the branch registered at the production site address. What each certificate covers is a separate matter; the scope line is stated on that certificate’s own card. On the Higg and GRS/RCS documents the same company appears without the branch suffix, as “Fersan Tekstil Tic. ve San. Ltd. Şti.”; on the GRS/RCS scope certificate the company address is again 233. Sok. No: 35/1, Ergene / Tekirdağ.

Both exist, and we keep them separate. Our most recent independently verified documents are the Higg FEM 2024 and Higg FSLM 2025 assessments. The more recent Higg FEM 2025 and Higg FSLM 2026 files are self-assessments; independent verification for those two periods has not yet concluded. The headline claim on this page always refers to the verified period, while each self-assessment downloads from its own clearly labelled button.

Higg FEM results live on the Worldly platform and are shared through that platform’s own permission flow. Open an access request from your brand account and we will connect our facility; we do not circulate the score as a separate document outside the platform.

No, they are not identical. ISO 9001, ISO 10002, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 each state the scope as the activities of polyester fabric knitting and dyeing. On ISO 45001 the scope is defined as the sales of polyester fabric, so that certificate covers sales rather than the production activities. We reproduce the difference exactly as printed rather than widening it in presentation.

The widest coverage sits on the GRS/RCS scope certificate: knitting, dyeing, finishing, pre-treatment, preparatory, spinning and trading, issued to two facilities — the main site TE-00108513 and a separately identified spinning facility TE-00117311. OEKO-TEX STeP covers knitting, pretreatment, dyeing and finishing. ISO 9001, 10002, 14001 and 50001 cover knitting and dyeing; ISO 45001 differs from these — its scope is defined as the sales of polyester fabric only. Spinning is named only on the GRS/RCS certificate.

Yes, they work at two different levels. STANDARD 100 is product-level: every component of the fabric — yarn, dye, accessory — is tested against a continually updated catalogue of limit values for substances harmful to human health. It is issued for the certified articles rather than for the site as a whole; Fersan holds three separate test numbers issued by Hohenstein (13.HTR.34221 · 21.HTR.93044 · 23.HTR.99329). STeP is facility-level and assesses the production site across six modules — chemical management, environmental performance, environmental management, social responsibility, quality management, and health and safety; Fersan’s STeP scope is knitting, pretreatment, dyeing and finishing. Fersan holds both.

No, it does not. STANDARD 100 is a voluntary product-testing scheme that screens the fabric against its own catalogue of limit values, whereas REACH is EU legislation with its own duties and declaration mechanism. The two catalogues overlap considerably, but the certificate cannot stand in place of a statement of legal compliance — they are assessed separately. What we hold is three STANDARD 100 test numbers issued by Hohenstein.

Our OEKO-TEX STeP certificate covers it (certificate 24001669, report 24001669/3): the facility meets ZDHC MRSL 3.1 requirements and the overall result is Level 2 of 3. One of STeP’s six modules is chemical management and another is environmental performance; the certified scope is knitting, pretreatment, dyeing and finishing. The certificate was issued on 02.06.2026 and runs to 31.12.2027.

We hold neither amfori BSCI nor Sedex/SMETA. Our social evidence is the independently verified Higg FSLM 2025 module, which under Cascale is converged with the SLCP common assessment framework — so one verified assessment can be accepted across multiple brand programmes. 2025 is our most recent independently verified period; the self-assessment for the 2026 period is complete, but its independent verification has not yet concluded. In addition, social responsibility is one of the six modules assessed in our OEKO-TEX STeP certificate.

What we hold is a Scope Certificate under GRS 4.0 + RCS 2.0 (CU860948MUL-2025-00108468): it confirms the facilities and their processes — knitting, dyeing, finishing, pre-treatment, preparatory, spinning and trading — are certified, not individual shipments, and its appendix lists the certified fabric compositions one by one. Proof that a specific shipment was made from certified material comes from a Transaction Certificate (TC), issued per shipment by the certification body. In short, the scope certificate shows production can be run certified; the TC shows a given lot actually was.

RCS verifies only the recycled content share through chain of custody. GRS verifies that same chain and adds environmental and social requirements on top. If your brand will use the claim in sustainability communication, GRS is the stronger basis.

Yes, but the chain of custody runs separately: the yardage under GRS/RCS moves with its own lot record and Transaction Certificate, while non-certified yardage stays outside it. In a mixed order we separate clearly in the quotation which line is certified.

No, we hold neither GOTS nor an organic cotton certificate. GOTS is written for organic natural fibres, while the weight of our output is polyester and recycled polyester (rPET), which puts us outside that standard’s remit. Our GRS/RCS scope certificate does also cover blends containing cotton and viscose; those are certified for recycled content — we hold no organically certified fibre at all. Our recycled-content claim is evidenced by the GRS 4.0 + RCS 2.0 scope certificate (a Transaction Certificate is what proves a specific shipment), and the harmful-substance side by OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.
