The Control Union Certifications body developed a certification inspired by GOTS specifically for natural latex production and processing. This certification is highly respected and falls under the USDA's National Organic Program. GOLS has different requirements for products made with organic and non-organic raw materials.
To qualify for the GOLS label, a mattress must have at least 95% organic raw materials and must undergo rigorous testing for harmful substances, toxic emissions, and the percentage of polymer and filler.
The use of GOLS-certified transaction certificates is a crucial aspect of the certification, requiring every participant in the supply chain, from rubber plantations and processing facilities to the final point of sale, to adhere to the same standards. The product's origin can be traced back to its source.
