World Care-Label System 3 ---
|
|
The British care labelling system uses graphic symbols to provide information on care labels. The 5 basic symbols used are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross superimposed on any of the preceding five symbols indicates that such a treatment or process should be used. |

The
care instructions expressed by symbols should appear in the order of the
processes that normally follow one another, that is, washing, bleaching,
drying, ironing, and drycleaning. Also, the care instructions represented
by the symbols apply to the whole of the garment, including trimmings,
buttons, zippers, linings, and so on, unless different instructions for
different parts that are easily removed from a garment are provided on the
same label or on an additional label permanently attached to the garment.
The care symbols selected should give instructions for the most severe
process the garment can withstand while being maintained in a serviceable
condition without causing a significant loss of its properties. The other World Major Care-Labelling System: |
