DOCUMENTATION · ISO 9001:2015What does the management standard check?

The standard concerns the quality management system of the certified organisation. Its scope is different from a certification of a finished product’s safety.

DOCUMENTATION · BSCIWhat does the assessment of social practices mean?

The BSCI assessment concerns the facility and period covered by the audit. It is not a product certification and does not automatically extend to the whole supply chain.

LABORATORY TEST · Lead and heavy metalsWhat do we know about the substances analysed?

The documentation for the textiles includes a test for lead and heavy metals with the result “negative”.

The details are specific to the sample and the parameters in the report.

COMPOSITION · Hemp · organic cotton · functional layersWhat is my product made of?

The absorbent layers and the outer fabric have different functions. See the model’s composition on the packaging and on the product page.

The exact composition of each model is available on the packaging and on the product page.

FORMULA · CLEANSING GELWhat information about testing is published?

The Cleansing Gel product page states that the formula is Allergy Certified and dermatologically tested. The gel has a declared pH of 4.0–4.5.

Information about the gel; the formula and full instructions are on the product page. The laboratory report is not included in this sheet.

INGREDIENTS · TRANSPARENCYHow do you compare the three formulas?

Check the complete INCI list, not just the highlighted ingredient. The gel contains lactic acid; the Deo Spray formula includes Aluminum Chlorohydrate; the Relief Balm contains beeswax. All three are presented without added fragrance.

Products for external use. The spray for cleaning cups and discs has its own instructions.

Documents may concern a material, a sample, a product or a manufacturing process. Scope and validity should be checked in each document.

Summary of the sources named in the sheet. Validity dates are those stated in the documents; current status should be checked with the issuer. Consulted: 23.09.2026.

THE SAME CLARITY. FOR EVERY DOCUMENT.

Certification or test?
Here is the difference.

Certification

Confirms that the requirements of a standard are met, for the scope and period stated.

The laboratory test

Shows the result of a sample, for certain parameters and under the conditions of the method used.

The technical document

Describes composition, characteristics or use. It is not automatically an independent certification.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Natural questions.
Clear answers.

Have a specific product in mind? Send us its name or a photo of the packaging so we can identify the relevant documentation.

Ask the Femieko team
Do all products have the same certifications?

Each category has the documentation that suits its materials and use. Select the product to see the relevant certificates and reports.

What does “not detected” mean in a report?

The substance analysed is below the method’s detection limit. The tables show the result together with the measurement limit, for the sample identified in the report.

How do I check a certificate?

Look for the issuer, document number, holder, the material or product included and the validity period. Check the issuer’s register when available, or ask us for the document for your product.

These resources explain the standards and how to check them; they do not imply that all Femieko products are certified.

Is Sedex a product certification?

No. Sedex is a platform for assessing practices in the supply chain. Neither Sedex membership nor a SMETA audit is a product certification.
