The aim of this standard is to define requirements to ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.

本標(biāo)準(zhǔn)旨在規(guī)定有機紡織品從其原料收獲、對社會和環(huán)境負有責(zé)任的加工、再至標(biāo)識的整個過程需確保有機狀態(tài)，從而向最終消費者提供值得信賴的產(chǎn)品。

   Scope andstructure

  范圍和結(jié)構(gòu)

  This standard covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic natural fibres. The final products may include, but are not limited to fibre products, yarns, fabrics, garments, fashion textile accessories (carried or worn), textile toys, home textiles, mattresses and bedding products as well as textile personal care products.

  本標(biāo)準(zhǔn)涵蓋了所有有機天然認證纖維成分含量不低于70%的紡織品的加工、制造、包裝、標(biāo)識、貿(mào)易和分銷活動。終產(chǎn)品可包括(但不限于)纖維產(chǎn)品、紗線、面料、服裝、紡織類時尚(穿戴)飾品、紡織玩具、家用紡織品、床墊寢具及紡織類個人護理用品。

  The standard focuses on compulsory criteria only. Some of the criteria are compliance requirements for the entire facility where GOTS products are processed (2.4.10. Environmental management, 2.4.11. Waste water treatment, 3. Minimum social criteria and4.1. Auditing of processing, manufacturing and trading stages), whereas the others are criteria relevant for the specific products subject to certification (all other criteria of chapter 2 and chapter 4.2.of this standard).

  本標(biāo)準(zhǔn)僅關(guān)注強制性準(zhǔn)則。其中，一部分準(zhǔn)則規(guī)定了加工全球有機紡織品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(GOTS)產(chǎn)品的整個單位需滿足(第2.4.10 節(jié)環(huán)境管理、第2.4.11 節(jié)污水處理、第3 節(jié)最低社會準(zhǔn)則及第4.1 節(jié)加工、制造和貿(mào)易活動的審核)，而其它準(zhǔn)則僅要求特定的認證產(chǎn)品需滿足(本標(biāo)準(zhǔn)第2 節(jié)和第4.2 節(jié)要求)。

  As it is to date technically nearly impossible to produce any textiles in an industrial way without the use of chemical inputs, the ap-proach is to define criteria for low impact and low residual natural and synthetic chemical inputs (such as dyestuffs, auxiliaries and finishes) accepted for textiles produced and labelled according to this standard.

  鑒于當(dāng)前紡織品的生產(chǎn)不可能不使用化學(xué)品的行業(yè)現(xiàn)狀，對依據(jù)本標(biāo)準(zhǔn)生產(chǎn)和標(biāo)識的紡織品所使用的投入物定義了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)——允許使用殘留低、環(huán)境影響小且經(jīng)過許可的天然投入物和合成化學(xué)品投入物(如：染料、助劑和整理劑)。
