GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD

GOTS guidance

Global Organic Textile Standard. Speak with us about readiness and the appropriate certification route.

GOTS certificates are issued only by GOTS-approved certification bodies. This page is an enquiry page; we do not issue GOTS certificates under ISAO.

What is GOTS?

GOTS is the leading standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It covers the whole chain, from processing and dyeing to labelling, with environmental and social criteria at every stage.

Who needs it?

  • Spinning, weaving and knitting mills
  • Dyeing and processing units
  • Garment and home textile exporters
  • Traders of organic textiles

Review the GOTS preparation checklist

What it can do for your business

  • Access to buyers of organic textiles
  • A label recognised by international brands
  • Control of chemicals and effluents
  • Traceability from fibre to garment

FROM ENQUIRY TO ASSESSMENT

How the enquiry works

01

Describe your requirement

Share your activities, sites and the scheme or buyer requirement you need to meet.

02

Confirm the appropriate route

Check the scheme's authorised assessment or certification route and service availability before proceeding.

03

Agree the scope and quote

Request written confirmation of deliverables, responsible bodies, fees and any travel or assessment costs.

04

Prepare the evidence

Use the service-specific checklist below to identify existing records and gaps for review.

05

Follow the scheme's assessment

The responsible scheme body determines assessment and any certification or rating. An enquiry does not guarantee an outcome.

STARTING YOUR APPLICATION

Initial business documents

These establish who is applying and the proposed business scope. They are the starting point; the service-specific review or assessment can require additional operational evidence.

01

Business registration

Udyam, incorporation certificate or shop licence.

02

Letterhead or visiting card

Your business name and contact details.

03

One business invoice

A recent sales or purchase invoice.

04

Your business scope

What you do, in one or two clear lines.

Prepare for GOTS

Use these global organic textile standard checks to organise your preparation. For each item, identify the responsible person, the procedure used and a recent record showing what happens in practice.

  • Use of certified organic fibres
  • Restricted chemical inputs
  • Waste water treatment
  • Social criteria based on ILO norms
  • Transaction certificates through the chain

Make your evidence match your scope

  • Describe the actual activities and locations to be reviewed, including outsourced work and responsibilities retained by your business.
  • Choose current examples from your own operation. Record the date, responsible person and outcome so the reviewer can connect the evidence to your stated scope.
  • Identify missing records or unfinished actions before assessment. A policy or blank template alone does not show how a process operates.
  • Ask which records apply to your selected service and scope. This preparation checklist is not an exhaustive assessment or a promise of certification.

GOTS certificates are issued only by GOTS-approved certification bodies. This page is an enquiry page; we do not issue GOTS certificates under ISAO.

BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Confirm these details in writing before payment

Use the published price alongside the agreed scope and service terms when deciding whether the offering meets your requirement.

Certification and accreditation have different roles. See ISO's guidance on choosing a certification body.
