We continue our work under the motto of sensitivity. We established our Physical Test Laboratory in 2014 and Analytical Test Laboratory in 2015.
DeFacto laboratories have received the approval of conformity with the standards of the European Accreditation Union as a result of the examination carried out in the field of testing, analysis and calibration by TÜRKAK, which has signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MLA TÜRKAK) with the European Accreditation Association (EA) in all areas in which it operates.This certificate has both national and international validity as a reliable indicator of technical competence, and also demonstrates DeFacto's sense of responsibility towards its customers and business partners.2016 As a result of the audit carried out in our laboratories by the TÜRKAK institution in February, our Analytical Laboratory and our Physics Laboratory with our expanded scope in physical tests were entitled to become accredited laboratories within the scope of ISO IEC 17025 Standard.

Due to our sensitivity in the safety of our Baby and Children's products, the safety tests specified in the relevant regulation are followed for these product groups.Flammability Safety: Within the scope of the relevant regulation for baby and children's clothing, the compliance of all our products (nightgowns, pajamas, bathrobes and dressing gowns, etc.) with the flammability directives is checked by following the TS EN ISO 14878 reference test standard.
Infant-Child Clothing Safety: Clothing for infants and children is checked to ensure that it is robust and does not contain small parts at risk of snagging, choking or swallowing Reference standards used for this purpose;
Analytical (Ecological Tests) Laboratory is a laboratory where OEKO-TEX requirements, which are accepted all over the world and applied in more than 40 countries, are analyzed in textile products, harmful chemicals from the raw materials and production processes used, and products that pose a risk to human and environmental health are eliminated within DeFacto.Analyses performed in the laboratory increase our brand reliability by demonstrating the sensitivity we show to human health and nature. The Analytical Laboratory was established with an investment cost of approximately 2 million TL, and an average of 100 finished product analyses are performed daily with a technical team of 15 people. Analyses are carried out with the most advanced devices used in the testing sector and expert personnel competent to use these devices.
The Analytical Laboratory is accredited by the Turkish Accreditation Agency in 2016 within the scope of the 'TS EN ISO / IEC 17025:2012' standard.DeFacto established a fully equipped chemistry laboratory in 2014 in order to prevent the harmful effects of its products with its sensitivity to human health. In this laboratory, chemicals that are harmful or suspected to be harmful to human health, all of which have been identified through joint studies conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the OEKO-100 association, are tested.The tests conducted in the DeFacto laboratory have more comprehensive content than the tests that are mandatory for products imported into Turkey. In addition to local legislation, the results obtained in this laboratory, where tests are applied to meet global standards, are analyzed above the limits required by Turkey.This laboratory, where an investment of 2 million TL was made only in the installation phase, has the latest technological equipment among the examples both in Turkey and in the world.The team of chemists and chemical technicians is composed of experts with significant experience, each of whom has received the best training in their field.Our laboratories, which are established in the DeFacto headquarters building, ensure that mandatory sample tests in the sector are carried out in a safer environment and safer results are obtained. DeFacto laboratories are periodically audited by international organizations under the titles of "proficiency test, comparison test" for the components tested. The chemicals we use in the testing processes are collected in special barrels and delivered to ISTAÇ, an institution authorized by the Ministry of Environment, so that they are not harmful to the environment. Thus, all our chemical wastes are disposed of by special methods and reported to the Ministry.

We carried the dominance of natural tones to our Colored Cotton collection. With our colored cotton collection, which is dominated by natural tones, we produced without using dyes and saving water thanks to the colored ancestor cotton seeds that exist spontaneously. In this way, we achieved up to 35% energy and water savings and 90% reduction in chemical use with our sustainable collection. In our collection, which we produced from non-GMO colored ancestor cotton seeds, we highlighted beige and light brown colors in the dominance of natural tones.
Our collection, created with minimal print and embroidery details, was designed and produced with a skin and nature friendly approach. In our collection, where natural and soft colors, the trend of the season, are preferred, natural colors produced from the extracts of plant wastes that occur spontaneously in nature and clays produced by natural factors are used in the fabrics. Our collection got its color from natural plant wastes such as lavender, olive leaf extract, walnut shell, pomegranate peel, indigo fera, lavender leaf. During the fabric dyeing and production phase, we paid attention to water and energy efficiency and paid attention to minimum water consumption.
In addition to the use of natural dyes in the preparation of our collection, we have also considered water and energy efficiency by saving 88% water and 55% energy during the dyeing and production stages, and we have taken care to protect the future.
Our Olive Leather Collection was created by combining 100% vegan, plant-based and 100% recycled products. Our collection is made with vegan olive leather, which does not contain any animal fibers such as wool, fur and silk and does not use animal materials at any stage of the production process.
By using vegan leather, a natural and alternative raw material, we reduced carbon emissions by 94% during the production phase. In this way, we prevented waste production by respecting nature.
With the Apple Skin Collection, which we produced by recycling the peels and pulp of industrially processed apples, we not only benefited the environment but also offered farmers the opportunity to earn a second income from waste management, thus strengthening the circular economy ecosystem. Our collection not only reduced waste management costs, but this natural waste also replaced other chemical-intensive raw materials, reducing energy consumption and emissions along the entire chain.
