European Care Labelling

A correct care label for European countries is now required to consist at least four and sometimes five symbols in the following sequence :

/tr>

Symbol Process

- iron at a maximum sole-plate temperature of 200¡ÆC

- iron at a maximum sole-plate temperature of 150¡ÆC

- steam-ironing may be risky

- do not iron
- steaming and steam treatments are not allowed

 
Symbol Process
- drycleaning in all solvents normally used for drycleaning
- this includes all solvents listed for the symbol P, plus trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane

- drycleaning in tetrachloroethylene, monofluorotrichloromethane and all solvents listed for the symbol F
- normal cleansing procedures without restrictions

- drycleaning in the solvents listed in the prvious paragraph
- strict limitations on the addition of water and/or mechanical action and/or temperature during cleaning and/or drying
- no self-service cleaning allowed

- drycleaning in trifluorotrichloroethane, white spirit (distillation temperature between 150¡ÆC and 210¡ÆC, flash point 38¡ÆC to 60¡ÆC)
- normal cleansing procedures without restrictions

- drycleaning in the solvents listed in the previous paragraph
- strict limitations on the addition of water and/or mechanical action and/or temperature during cleaning and/or drying
- no self-service cleaning allowed

- do not dryclean
- no stain removal with solvents
