How OEKO-TEX® and Intertek Certifications Guarantee Safer Lingerie Accessories
Introduction
In today’s fashion industry, consumers demand more than just style — they expect safety, comfort, and responsibility. This is especially true for lingerie and swimwear accessories, which remain in direct contact with the skin throughout the day. From bra underwires to strap adjusters and decorative swimwear charms, every detail matters.
This is why internationally recognized certifications like OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and Intertek’s Trim Supplier Qualification Program (TQP) are essential. They prove that lingerie components are not only stylish but also safe, sustainable, and high-quality.
At Xinxu Garment Accessories, we are proud to hold both certifications and combine them with customer-focused services such as free samples, fast prototyping, and flexible order options. This makes us a trusted partner for lingerie and swimwear brands in Europe, North America, and beyond.
What Is OEKO-TEX® Certification and Why It Matters
The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is one of the most trusted textile certifications worldwide. It confirms that every part of a product has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health.

Xinxu’s certified products include:
- Stainless steel bra underwires
- Iron strap adjusters coated with nylon powder in black, white, or dyed colors
- Zinc alloy bra buckles, electroplated in gold, silver, or enamel finishes
- Certified under Product Class II, making them safe for items in direct contact with the skin.
- Fully compliant with REACH, SVHC, POP, and GB18401 standards.
✅ Xinxu Advantage: Not only do we produce OEKO-TEX® certified lingerie accessories, but we also offer free samples of buckles, rings, and adjusters. This allows brands to test and verify product safety and comfort before scaling up production.
