The Woolmark Certification Program covers yarns, fabrics and most articles of clothing, as well as bedding, carpets and upholstery. In addition, The Woolmark Company endorses products for wool care such as wool detergents and cycles on washing machines, dryers and irons as part of the Woolmark Wool Care program.
To ensure Woolmark Quality Standards are maintained, The Woolmark Company has developed a comprehensive set of Specifications and Test Methods. Products must meet or exceed the requirements of the relevant Specification prior to gaining Woolmark certification. To assess products against the Specifications, an independent Authorised Laboratory will use the appropriate Woolmark Test Methods.
