总则
1.1 Aim of the standard
标准目的
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. 本标准旨在规定有机纺织品从其原料收获、对社会和环境负有责任的加工、再至标识的整个过程需确保有机状态，从而向最终消费者提供值得信赖的产品。
1.2 Scope andstructure
范围和结构
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.
本标准涵盖了所有有机天然认证纤维成分含量不低于70%的纺织品的加工、制造、包装、标识、贸易和分销活动。终产品可包括（但不限于）纤维产品、纱线、面料、服装、纺织类时尚（穿戴）饰品、纺织玩具、家用纺织品、床垫寝具及纺织类个人护理用品。
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 and
4.1. 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).
本标准仅关注强制性准则。其中，一部分准则规定了加工全球有机纺织品标准（GOTS）产品的整个单位需满足（第2.4.10 节环境管理、第2.4.11 节污水处理、第3 节最低社会准则及第4.1 节加工、制造和贸易活动的审核），而其它准则仅要求特定的认证产品需满足（本标准第2 节和第4.2 节要求）。
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.
鉴于当前纺织品的生产不可能不使用化学品的行业现状，对依据本标准生产和标识的纺织品所使用的投入物定义了标准——允许使用残留低、环境影响小且经过许可的天然投入物和合成化学品投入物（如：染料、助剂和整理剂）。
1.3 Certificate ofCompliance
合格证书
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、贸易商和零售商在被授权认证机构确认其有能力满足GOTS 相应认证程序的有关准则后，将获得一张被授权认证机构依据《合格证书（范围证书——SC）颁发政策和模板》颁发的GOTS 合格证书。获得合格证书的单位被称为被认证实体。合格证书上列出了被认证实体所能提供的符合标准的产品或产品类别以及认证范围内具有资格的加工、制造和贸易活动。分包单位及其相应的加工和制造步骤则列在被认证实体的范围证书的附页中。
1.4 Label grading andLabelling
标签等级和标识
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.
本标准将标签细分为两个等级，其区别仅在于要求认证产品中含有的“有机”或“有机转换”原料的最小百分比不同。只有当纤维生 产所依据的认证标准（农业标准）允许该纤维标识为“转换”的前提下，才可将产品标识为“转换”。
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:
被认证实体只有对依据本标准生产的且经过了被授权认证机构认证的纺织品（终产品或中间产品）（即GOTS 产品），才可引用以下
内容进行销售、标识或推介：
a) "organic" or "organic -inconversion"
a） “有机”或“有机转换”
or 或
b) "made with (x %) organic materials" or "made with (x %) organic -in conversionmaterials"
b） “由（x%）有机原料制成”或“由（x%）有机转换原料制成”
and the GOTS logo (or the immediate reference “Global Organic Textile Standard” or the short form “GOTS”).
及GOTS 标志（或直接引用“全球有机纺织品标准”或缩写形式“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).
标识须指明对GOTS 产品实施认证的被授权认证机构的信息[如：认证机构的名称及（或）标志]和被认证实体的许可号（由被授权认证机构提供）。
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.
任何情况下只有被认证实体才可在其产品或包装上使用GOTS 标识，且GOTS 标识在使用前须经过被认证实体的被授权认证机构的审批。
Application of GOTS labelling must be in compliance with the ‘Licensing and Labelling Guide’.
GOTS 标识的使用须符合《许可和标识指南》。
