Methodology
SaferTex applies a rigorous, independent methodology to verify textile material claims under real market conditions.
Our process is designed to deliver objective, laboratory-based evidence, not assumptions.

Our verification process
SaferTex follows a structured, step-by-step process to ensure textile material claims are verified with accuracy, transparency, and consistency.
1. Product acquisition (Mystery purchase)
SaferTex independently purchases textile products under normal market conditions.
This approach ensures that analyzed materials correspond exactly to what consumers receive.
All acquisitions are documented to guarantee traceability.

All acquisitions are documented to guarantee traceability.
2. Scope definition & documentation
Each product is documented prior to analysis to define the verification scope.
Declared fiber composition, product references, and labeling information are recorded.
This step ensures clarity on what is verified and what is not.

This step ensures clarity on what is verified and what is not.
3. Independent laboratory analysis
Textile samples are analyzed by independent partner laboratories using recognized scientific protocols.
Fiber composition and material integrity are measured objectively.
Fiber composition and material integrity are measured objectively.
4. Results review & verification decision
Laboratory results are reviewed against declared material claims within the defined scope.
Verification decisions are based solely on analytical outcomes.
No marketing interpretation is applied.

5. Verification issuance & public verification
Verified products receive a SaferTex verification report, digital badge, and certificate ID.
Verification details are made publicly accessible through a verification page.
Each certificate includes a defined validity period and scope.

Priority
Core principles
SaferTex is built on a small set of non-negotiable principles that guide every verification process.
These principles ensure independence, consistency, and transparency from product acquisition to public verification.
These principles ensure independence, consistency, and transparency from product acquisition to public verification.
1. Independent acquisition
Products are acquired directly through standard commercial channels, without brand involvement.
2. Real-market conditions
Materials are analyzed exactly as they are sold to consumers, not as supplied for testing.
3. Laboratory verification
All analyses are conducted by independent third-party laboratories using standardized methods.
METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLES
Built on independence and evidence
SaferTex was created to bring structure and credibility to textile material verification.
Every step of our methodology is designed to minimize bias, ensure traceability, and deliver verifiable results.
