Cashmere Certifications & Compliance
KnitFine supports cashmere brands, private labels and wholesale buyers with factory, material and testing documents. Tell us your requirements before sampling so we can review the records relevant to your order.
KnitFine Certification & Documentation
Our documentation covers quality management, social compliance, textile safety, responsible wool and recycled materials. Available records relate to ISO 9001, amfori BSCI, WRAP, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, RWS, GRS and REACH. Each document is reviewed for its holder, scope and dates.
Why Certifications Matter for Knitwear Buyers
Documents help buyers assess a supplier and substantiate material or product claims. For cashmere clothing, accessories and blankets, the relevant evidence may concern workplace practices, yarn safety, fiber traceability or destination-market requirements.
Certifications & Standards Explained
Factory audits, material certificates and test reports serve different purposes. Match the document to the site, fiber or article involved in your project.
amfori BSCI — Social Compliance
BSCI assesses workplace practices at a production site. Its audit information helps buyers review working conditions and qualify suppliers for responsible sourcing.
WRAP — Responsible Apparel Production
WRAP certifies production facilities against social compliance principles. For supplier approval, check the facility named on the certificate and its current certification status.
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 — Textile Safety
STANDARD 100 covers textiles tested for harmful substances. For cashmere yarns, trims and garments, the certificate must cover the relevant articles and components.
RWS — Responsible Wool Sourcing
RWS covers sheep welfare, land management and wool traceability. It is relevant to the sheep-wool content of wool or cashmere-wool blends, rather than cashmere itself.
GRS — Recycled Materials
GRS verifies recycled content and chain of custody. Recycled cashmere claims need the appropriate scope and transaction documents for the materials and order.
ISO 9001 — Quality Management
ISO 9001 addresses quality management systems. It supports supplier assessment through the organization and activities covered; it does not certify individual garments.
REACH — Chemical Requirements
REACH includes chemical restrictions relevant to textile articles sold in the EU. Reports should identify the tested materials, substances assessed and applicable requirements.
