GOTS認證中英文版

　　總則

　　1.1 Aim of the standard

　　標準目的

　　The aim of this standard is to define requirements to ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.

　　本標準旨在規定有機紡織品從其原料收獲、對社會和環境負有責任的加工、再至標識的整個過程需確保有機狀態，從而向最終消費者提供值得信賴的產品。

　　1.2 Scope andstructure

　　范圍和結構

　　This standard covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic natural fibres. The final products may include, but are not limited to fibre products, yarns, fabrics, garments, fashion textile accessories (carried or worn), textile toys, home textiles, mattresses and bedding products as well as textile personal care products.

　　本標準涵蓋了所有有機天然認證纖維成分含量不低于70%的紡織品的加工、制造、包裝、標識、貿易和分銷活動。終產品可包括（但不限于）纖維產品、紗線、面料、服裝、紡織類時尚（穿戴）飾品、紡織玩具、家用紡織品、床墊寢具及紡織類個人護理用品。

　　The standard focuses on compulsory criteria only. Some of the criteria are compliance requirements for the entire facility where GOTS products are processed (2.4.10. Environmental management, 2.4.11. Waste water treatment, 3. Minimum social criteria and4.1. Auditing of processing, manufacturing and trading stages), whereas the others are criteria relevant for the specific products subject to certification (all other criteria of chapter 2 and chapter 4.2.of this standard).

　　本標準僅關注強制性準則。其中，一部分準則規定了加工全球有機紡織品標準（GOTS）產品的整個單位需滿足（第2.4.10 節環境管理、第2.4.11 節污水處理、第3 節最低社會準則及第4.1 節加工、制造和貿易活動的審核），而其它準則僅要求特定的認證產品需滿足（本標準第2 節和第4.2 節要求）。

　　As it is to date technically nearly impossible to produce any textiles in an industrial way without the use of chemical inputs, the ap-proach is to define criteria for low impact and low residual natural and synthetic chemical inputs (such as dyestuffs, auxiliaries and finishes) accepted for textiles produced and labelled according to this standard.

　　鑒于當前紡織品的生產不可能不使用化學品的行業現狀，對依據本標準生產和標識的紡織品所使用的投入物定義了標準——允許使用殘留低、環境影響小且經過許可的天然投入物和合成化學品投入物（如：染料、助劑和整理劑）。

　　1.3 Certificate ofCompliance

　　合格證書

　　Processors, manufacturers, traders and retailers that have demonstrated their ability to comply with the relevant GOTS criteria in the corresponding certification procedure to an Approved Certifier receive a GOTS Certificate of Compliance issued in accordance with the 'Policy and Template for issuing Certificates of Compliance (Scope Certificates, SCs)'. Accordingly they are considered Certified Entities. Certificates of Compliance list the products/product categories that the Certified Entities can offer in compliance with the standard as well as the processing, manufacturing and trading activities that are qualified under the scope of certification. Subcontractors and their relevant processing and manufacturing steps become listed on the Scope Certificate of the Certified Entity assigning thecertification.

　　加工者、制造商、貿易商和零售商在被授權認證機構確認其有能力滿足GOTS 相應認證程序的有關準則后，將獲得一張被授權認證機構依據《合格證書（范圍證書——SC）頒發政策和模板》頒發的GOTS 合格證書。獲得合格證書的單位被稱為被認證實體。合格證書上列出了被認證實體所能提供的符合標準的產品或產品類別以及認證范圍內具有資格的加工、制造和貿易活動。分包單位及其相應的加工和制造步驟則列在被認證實體的范圍證書的附頁中。

　　1.4 Label grading andLabelling

　　標簽等級和標識

　　The standard provides for a subdivision into two label-grades. The only differentiation for subdivision is the minimum percentage of 'organic' / 'organic -in conversion' material in the certified product. Labelling of products as 'in conversion' is only possible, if the standard, on which the certification of the fibre production is based, permits such labelling for the fibre in question.

　　本標準將標簽細分為兩個等級，其區別僅在于要求認證產品中含有的“有機”或“有機轉換”原料的最小百分比不同。只有當纖維生 產所依據的認證標準（農業標準）允許該纖維標識為“轉換”的前提下，才可將產品標識為“轉換”。

　　Only textile goods (finished or intermediate) produced in compliance with this standard by a Certified Entity and certified by an Ap- proved Certifier(= GOTS Goods) may be sold, labelled or represented as:

　　被認證實體只有對依據本標準生產的且經過了被授權認證機構認證的紡織品（終產品或中間產品）（即GOTS 產品），才可引用以下內容進行銷售、標識或推介：

　　a) "organic" or "organic -inconversion"

　　a） “有機”或“有機轉換”

　　or 或

　　b) "made with (x %) organic materials" or "made with (x %) organic -in conversionmaterials"b） “由（x%）有機原料制成”或“由（x%）有機轉換原料制成”

　　and the GOTS logo (or the immediate reference “Global Organic Textile Standard” or the short form “GOTS”).

　　及GOTS 標志（或直接引用“全球有機紡織品標準”或縮寫形式“GOTS”）。

　　Labelling must be completed by a reference to the Approved Certifier who has certified the GOTS Goods (e.g. certifier's name and/or logo) and the licence number of the Certified Entity (as provided by the Approved Certifier).

　　標識須指明對GOTS 產品實施認證的被授權認證機構的信息[如：認證機構的名稱及（或）標志]和被認證實體的許可號（由被授權認證機構提供）。

　　In all cases the GOTS labelling can only be applied to the product/packaging by a Certified Entity and must have been approved by the Certified Entity's Approved Certifier in advance of its application.

　　任何情況下只有被認證實體才可在其產品或包裝上使用GOTS 標識，且GOTS 標識在使用前須經過被認證實體的被授權認證機構的審批。

　　Application of GOTS labelling must be in compliance with the ‘Licensing and Labelling Guide’.

　　GOTS 標識的使用須符合《許可和標識指南》。
