What does “GOTS” mean?
GOTS stands for a standard for textiles made from organically produced natural fibres with independent control. With genuine certification its use is permissible; it becomes misleading when advertised without a valid certificate or for products not covered. What matters is a verifiable, valid certification proof.
Why this term is risky
Claims that rely on a label or certificate are only as robust as the system behind them. Self-awarded or not independently verified “labels” carry a high risk of being misleading.
Legal basis
Anhang I Nr. 2a UGP-RL i.d.F. EmpCo (EU) 2024/825 (Nachhaltigkeitssiegel ohne anerkannte Zertifizierung)
The stated legal basis is an assessment, not a conclusively reviewed legal opinion and not individual legal advice.
