All Textiles in All Volvo Models Oeko-Tex Certified to Be Allergy-Friendly

GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN – Volvo Cars’ complete model range now features textiles that are so clean that they are certified according to the Oeko-Tex standard. The textile standard was introduced at the beginning of the 1990s by textile research institutes as a response to the needs of consumers and the general public for textiles that posed no risk to health.

Oeko-Tex Association is a partnership of 14 textile research and test institutes in Europe and Japan. A wide range of products are inspected and analyzed. All the textiles inside the passenger compartment are tested, such as the roof lining, floor mats, luggage compartment mats, upholstery, door panels, leather-trimmed steering wheels, and seat belts.
