The Textiles Standards Committee meets around two to three times per year. We aim to have a wide and representative spread of appropriate expertise on the committee together with consumer and public interest representatives. The Textiles Standards Committee's remit is to develop and keep under review our textiles standards and to deal with any relevant issues referred to the committee from licensees, Soil Association members, the public or our certification department. Agendas of meetings: We like to keep our standards setting process as transparent as possible. To view the last meetings' agendas, please visit the links below. Our minutes will be coming online soon but in the meantime, are available on request.
