Standards & certificates

Certification is carried out by the relevant regulatory authorities. During the certification process, products are checked for compliance with approved technical requirements and standards. This requires that customers receive a harmless product.

In addition to the mandatory and voluntary certificates of conformity for PCT, ORTO and ORTO PROFESSIONAL products have the following certificates:

Oeko -Tex Standard 100 (ORTO compression hosiery) is an international textile testing system. It is produced by 17 research institutions located in more than 40 countries. The essence of certification is to prevent the manufacturing of products having harmful chemicals in its structure. The longer the product contacts the skin, the stricter the certification conditions.

There are 4 certification classes: the 1st is the certification of products for infants and children up to 3 years old - the strictest requirements apply to this group. The 4th class is the decoration materials: curtains, furniture upholstery, etc. In this classification, ORTO compression hosiery has a 2nd certification class. This means that the requirements for materials are presented almost the same as for the products for young children. ORTO jersey is certified annually and is certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

QPS (Quality Product Standard) — quality standard developed by a German company OHV Handels-und Verwaltungs-GmbH Ortenau specifically for ORTO and ORTO PROFESSIONAL brand manufacturers.

QPS compliance guarantees:

durability and safety of materials;
functionality and efficiency of products;
compliance of serial products with standards;
product safety and comfort during rehabilitation or treatment.

ORTO and ORTO PROFESSIONAL products comply with the QPS standard; therefore, they guarantee:

high medical effectiveness;

The system is applied to own production and production of all foreign partners of the company, guaranteeing the quality and reliability of the ORTO and ORTO Professional orthosis.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) – an international organization for the standardization of processes, goods and services, which issues a certificate to enterprises with processes for the development, production, storage and delivery of products complying with international standards.

In 2019, after completing all the necessary procedures the ISO 13485: 2017 (13485: 2016) certificate was awarded to ORTO, a manufacturer of corsets and bandages under the ORTO trademark.

An ISO certificate guarantees high quality, efficiency and durability of ORTO products, thereby confirming the competitiveness of products.
