NF EN ISO 3758, G08-004 (12/2023)

This document establishes a system of graphic symbols intended for the marking of textile articles, giving information on the harshest possible treatment without irreversible deterioration of the article during textile maintenance, and specifies the use of these symbols in care labeling. This document applies to all textile articles, with the exception of: — non-removable covers for upholstered furniture; — non-removable mattress covers; — textile floor coverings and carpets which require professional cleaning. These products are excluded due to specific cleaning treatments not specified herein. The graphic symbols described in this document are intended to provide maintenance information to the end user. The following household treatments are considered: washing, bleaching, drying and ironing. Professional textile care treatments, such as dry cleaning or wet cleaning, are also covered, excluding industrial laundering and professional cleaning of textile floor coverings. However, it is recognized that the information provided by household symbols will also be useful to dyeing and laundry professionals. NOTE Symbols for industrial laundering are provided by ISO 30023.
