Animated video focuses on changes in GOTS version 4.0, which is applicable as of 1st March 2015

In line with the GOTS’ policy to work for the benefit of the organic textile community worldwide and adopt latest changes and innovations, GOTS has released a 20 minutes short video outlining the new criteria and specifications or clarifications of differences between GOTS Version 3.0 and 4.0. The video is useful both for companies wishing to get a good overview of the standard and the changes at the same time, and to use it for internal training.

The new video was made by NimkarTek Technical Services Pvt Ltd, Thane, India. It highlights changes in new version, including the ones about new 30% rule for recycled synthetic fibres and regenerated fibres from sustainable sources. The video is aimed at enhancing the skill level of both operators and certifiers.

GOTS version 4.0 was launched on March 1, 2014 and after the one year implementation period till March 1, 2015, all products certified must meet detailed criteria given under GOTS Version 4.0

This video will be shown in the upcoming 1st International GOTS Conference, scheduled to be held in Mumbai, India on May 22, 2015.
