The Committee inscribed the Saltaire on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii) and (iv):

Criterion (iv): The layout and architecture of Saltaire admirably reflect mid 19th century philanthropic paternalism, as well as the important role played by the textile industry in economic and social development.
