Certifications
Why Certifications Matter?
"Independent certification is our pledge of safety—proof that every material and every stitch meets stringent standards for you and your end-users."
"Beyond a badge, our certifications are third-party validation that our tool bags are engineered not just to carry, but to endure and perform."
Navigating Global Certifications for Tool Bags & Luggage
As a professional manufacturer serving a global market, we understand that certifications are not just checkboxes but vital passports for product safety, quality, and market access. Different regions and product categories have specific compliance landscapes.
1. Key Regional Market Certifications
European Union (EU): Products entering the EU must comply with stringent regulations.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals): This regulation addresses chemical safety. While the list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) is extensive, comprehensive testing for high-risk substances relevant to textiles and accessories is conducted to ensure full compliance and safety.
CE Marking (where applicable): Indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area.
United States (US): The US market has its own critical frameworks.
CA Proposition 65: Requires businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. We proactively manage our supply chain to meet these disclosure requirements.
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC): Ensures the safety of consumer products, with particularly stringent oversight for children’s products (e.g., kids’ backpacks, lunch bags). Compliance with applicable federal safety rules is mandatory.
2. Product & Material Specific Certifications
Beyond regional laws, targeted certifications validate specific attributes:
Material Safety & Eco-Production:
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100: An independent, global certification system for testing harmful substances in textiles at all production stages. Our certified fabrics are guaranteed safe for human ecological health.
OEKO-TEX® STeP: Certifies that our manufacturing facilities operate in an environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and efficient manner.
SGS certifications: A globally recognized, independent verification authority.
Specialized Product Compliance: For products like baby carriers, diaper bags, and children’s accessories, we adhere to specific safety standards such as EN 71 (European toy safety standard) to ensure they are safe for their youngest users.
3. Corporate Responsibility & Management Excellence
Our commitment extends beyond products to our operational ethos, verified by internationally recognized standards:
- BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) / Sedex: These audit platforms demonstrate our commitment to ethical and socially responsible business practices throughout our supply chain.
- ISO 9001: This internationally acclaimed Quality Management System (QMS) certification is the foundation of our processes. It provides a systematic framework for ensuring consistent product quality, operational efficiency, and continuous improvement.

Globally Recognized Certifications: Providing trust and assurance for international buyers by meeting strict industry and regulatory standards.
ISO 9001 certification
Demonstrates that our bag manufacturing facility operates under a certified Quality Management System, ensuring consistent product quality and reliability from material sourcing to final shipment. It builds global buyer trust in our production processes.
SGS Certification
A leading global testing company we partner with to verify material safety, durability (e.g., zipper strength, fabric abrasion), and compliance with standards like REACH or CPSIA. SGS reports provide credible proof of quality to buyers worldwide.
OEKO-TEX® STeP
An independent certification that verifies all textiles, leathers, threads, and zippers used in our bags are tested for harmful substances. It’s a key label for safe, skin-friendly materials, highly valued by eco-conscious brands in Europe and North America.
Europe REACH
A mandatory EU regulation controlling chemicals in all bag materials (fabrics, coatings, dyes, hardware). Our compliance ensures no restricted substances (e.g., AZO dyes, nickel) exceed safe limits, protecting consumer health and the environment.
CPSC Compliance
Mandatory for bags sold in the U.S., ensuring products—especially children’s backpacks and school bags—meet safety standards for lead content, phthalates, and physical hazards like small parts. Our materials and finished goods are rigorously tested for CPSIA compliance.
EN 71 (Toy Safety Standard)
While primarily for toys, this European standard is critical for bags with toy-like features (e.g., children’s character backpacks, detachable accessories). It ensures materials and small parts are safe and non-toxic for child users.
RoHS Compliance
Ensures that all electronic components (e.g., USB ports, LED lights) used in smart bags or charging bags are free from hazardous substances like lead and mercury. This directive is crucial for exporting tech-integrated bags to the EU and UK markets.
BSCI/Sedex (Social & Ethical Audits)
These are social compliance audits assessing factory working conditions, fair wages, and ethical practices. Many European and American brands require them to ensure their custom bags are produced responsibly and sustainably.
At our company, quality is the foremost priority. We are committed to stringent quality control and strive for excellence in both product and service. Regardless of the destination country for our tool bags, handbags, or backpacks, we rigorously ensure that every product meets local regulatory and quality standards.
