GB/T 8685 Textile Care Labeling Code
Using Symbols Version 2008 Officially Released
According to the agreement reached
on the GB/T 8685 Standard Amendment Technical Seminar held at Huangshan
in April 2008, the Chinese General Administration of Quality Supervision
officially released GB/T 8685 -2008 on June 18, 2008, and changed its
name to Textile Care Labeling Code Using Symbols. This standard will become
effective from Mar 1, 2009.
The amendment of the standard reflects
the actual cleaning methods, including the development of technology,
new methods of bleaching, as well as optional water-soluble regular dry
cleaning methods. The standard not only keeps in line with international
standards, but also takes China's national conditions into consideration,
which makes it more practical in application.
