What this mark means

RWS addresses sheep welfare, land management and the chain of custody for certified wool. A wool supplier’s certificate does not automatically authorise every finished product label. Check the chain and approved claim.

Before you add it to your label

  1. Verify the wool supply chain and obtain the authorised RWS label wording.
  2. Check Textile Exchange’s current claims policy and Materials Matter transition guidance before ordering new labels.
  3. Include the source and approval reference with your artwork for the final label review.
