Care labels provide guidelines to consumers and apparel care givers about the best cleaning procedures to be used for that particular combination of fabric, thread, decoration, and construction technique.

Many countries have mandatory or voluntary standards for care label instructions that apply to either apparel or soft home furnishing products:

Australia

• Care Labeling of Clothing, Household Textiles, Furnishings, Upholstered Furniture, Bedding, Piece Goods and Yarns

Canada 

• Care Labeling of Textiles

Europe

• International Textile Care Labeling Code

Japan

• Care Labeling of Textile Goods

United States

• Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel and Certain Piece Goods

Intertek conducts the following tests to determine the most appropriate consumer care conditions for the tested products: Colourfastness to washing or dry cleaning

• Colourfastness to bleaching
• Dimensional stability
• Appearance retention
• Ironing, if needed
