From input chemicals and fabric production to finished products and wastewater, TÜV Rheinland supports every stage of your textile supply chain. Our services span product testing, chemical management audits, wastewater analysis, and capacity building, enabling a consistent approach to DETOX and ZDHC compliance across all tiers.

With teams operating across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond, TÜV Rheinland brings global expertise to your region of production. Our experienced specialists understand the specific regulatory dynamics of textile, apparel, footwear, and leather markets, and work directly with suppliers, brands, and chemical manufacturers on the ground.

TÜV Rheinland is a ZDHC-accredited training provider and holds ZDHC InCheck Verifier qualification. We work with the full range of relevant standards and frameworks, including ZDHC MRSL, REACH, AFIRM RSL, GOTS, GRS, and Higg FEM – giving you a single, knowledgeable partner for multi-framework compliance.

Our chemical management audits are individually designed for each supplier. Skilled inspectors assess the procurement and storage of raw materials and chemicals, review production processes and quality management systems, and examine pollutant control and disposal practices. Where applicable, we validate corrective actions through IPE verification audits, helping suppliers track, compare, and continuously improve their performance.

Responsible production starts with verified products. TÜV Rheinland helps you demonstrate that your goods are free of restricted substances, supporting both your environmental commitments and the expectations of buyers, retailers, and end consumers in today's sustainability-conscious markets.

Chemical compliance requires more than testing. TÜV Rheinland offers ZDHC-accredited training and customized workshops that equip factory staff, procurement teams, and chemical managers with the knowledge to handle hazardous substances responsibly, and to implement sound chemical management practices throughout the supply chain.
