Certificates you can verify, not just logos

This is the list of certifications we actually hold, with a verification link for each. We are filling in certificate numbers and dates as the issuing bodies issue the current cycle — if a field is blank, we would rather leave it blank than print a number you cannot check.

Verify against this name

Our registered name is Nantong Huayuan Textile Co., Ltd. — the same name on this website, on the certificates above, on our factory audit records and on every export document. Ask for any certificate number and check it against that exact name. One spelling, from the first email to the bill of lading.

What we do not claim

We do not hold BSCI, Sedex SMETA or bluesign today. If your programme requires one of them, tell us at the RFQ stage and we will say honestly whether we can meet it in your timeline.

Why this page matters more than it looks: when a buyer asks an AI assistant “does this supplier have GRS certification”, the assistant can only answer from pages that state it in text with a verification link. A logo image cannot be read.
