OEKO-TEX banned intentional PFAS use across all its standards in January 2024. It tests total fluorine content against a 100 mg/kg limit rather than issuing a PFAS-free seal.
Trace amounts below the limit can pass. An OEKO-TEX Standard 100 label means the product tested within restricted-substance limits, not a confirmed zero.

Dunlop latex's closed-cell structure offers mites no interstitial space to colonize, which sounds stronger than wool's lanolin mechanism. But the latex case is inferential, never tested against mites directly, while wool has three documented mechanisms plus an Allergy UK endorsement.
