GOST ISO 3758-2014 PDF

Full title and description

GOST ISO 3758-2014 — "Изделия текстильные. Маркировка символами по уходу" (English: Textiles — Care labelling code using symbols). This is the Russian (GOST) adoption of the international ISO 3758 care-labelling system and is published as an identical (IDT) national/interstate standard for use in the Russian Federation and some EAEU states.

Abstract

The standard establishes a system of graphic care symbols for textile articles that indicate the most severe domestic and professional treatments (washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, professional dry-cleaning and wet-cleaning) that will not cause irreversible damage to the article. It specifies the meaning and correct use of these symbols on labels supplied with textile articles.

General information

Scope

Applies to all textile articles in the form supplied to the end user. The standard covers domestic care treatments (washing, bleaching, drying, ironing) and professional textile care treatments (dry-cleaning and wet-cleaning) but excludes industrial laundering processes. It is intended to give end users and professional cleaners guidance on the safest (most severe allowable) treatments for an article.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and graphical specification of care symbols for washing (including temperature and mechanical action), bleaching, drying (including tumble-drying restrictions), and ironing.
• Symbols and qualifiers for professional treatments: dry-cleaning (solvent types and restrictions) and professional wet-cleaning (process severity levels).
• Rules for use of symbols as the code for the most severe treatment that will not irreversibly damage the textile article.
• Guidance on label placement, format, legibility and combinations of symbols to convey full care instructions.
• Note on intellectual property: many international care symbols originate from the GINETEX system and may be subject to trademark/licensing in some jurisdictions; users should verify permitted use for commercial reproduction.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers, garment and textile producers, private-label brands, importers and retailers use the standard to prepare care labels that accompany textile articles. Testing and quality laboratories, certification bodies, product compliance teams and professional cleaners reference the standard for interpretation of care marks. Consumer-protection and regulatory agencies may also cite the standard when assessing labelling compliance. In Russia and several EAEU states this GOST version is the normative national reference.

Q: What does it cover?
