The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) sets requirements for organic fibres and their processing through the textile supply chain. Kingly’s scope certificate helps buyers identify which products and processing activities can support an organic textile brief.
Certified scope
Confirm the fibre composition, processing route and parties against the product and site appendices. Request the transaction certificate for the goods covered by your order before using a GOTS claim.
Documents and verification
Approved resellers can sign in to review record identifiers, dates and the watermarked specimen. For project-specific evidence, contact Kingly.

Questions and answers
Does Kingly’s GOTS certificate cover every sock?
No. Check the certificate appendix and the selected product specification. The scope certificate does not prove that all goods delivered by its holder are GOTS certified.
How do I verify a GOTS claim for my order?
Ask for the relevant scope certificate and transaction certificate. Confirm the product, certified parties, materials and processing route with Kingly and the certification body before using a GOTS claim.
Does GOTS guarantee a particular skin benefit?
No such benefit is established by this scope certificate. Product suitability and any health-related statement require their own applicable evidence.
What happens when the GOTS certificate expires?
Check the current scope certificate before using a GOTS claim. Approved resellers can see the stated validity in the record details. Certification can be suspended or withdrawn before the printed end date.
