The elements and processes applied are pre-production audited, not a test manufacturer's finished product. This so-called input stream management system ensures that the use of problematic substances is avoided from the outset, making the finished product absolutely safe. The standard defines specific criteria to be applied at each stage in the production chain to ensure compliance with the five principles of sustainable development. These standards are based on the concept of "Best Available Techniques" (BAT). Fundamentally, they require a high level of safety for humans and the environment as well as sustainable production processes.
The Bluesign has three main tools:
bluetool: chemical assessment tool. Chemical products must be confirmed by bluetool to obtain Blue Label certification
bluefinder: Approved System Partner Supplier (Non-Public Domain) Dyestuffs and Chemicals Database
blueguide: directory of bluesign-approved manufacturers of textile products
BSI Group (Jiangsu Dawan) joined the Bluesign in 2010 as a system partner, and now more than 300 textile dyes, pigments, and auxiliaries are listed in bluefinder's database. Therefore, when manufacturers seek to produce Blue Label-approved dyes and auxiliaries, we have a wide range of high-quality products to choose from.
