1 Scope This International Standard

- specifies the use of these symbols in care labelling.
The following domestic treatments are covered: washing , bleaching , drying and ironing. Professional textile care treatments in dry and wet cleaning, but excluding industrial laundering, are also covered. However, it is recognized that information imparted by the domestic symbols will also be of assistance to the professional cleaner and launderer.
