In order for hygiene articles to be certified, they may contain the 26 potentially allergenic compounds, azo and disperse dyes, formaldehyde, nickel and chromium (VI) only in very limited quantities.

In addition to the above-mentioned basic requirements, the claims "without perfume / without fragrances", "without dyes" and "without latex" are tested if these claims are advertised or used on the packaging.

The detailed criteria for the certification of hygiene products and a list of ingredients that are permitted only to a limited extent can be found here.
