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。
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 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）。
