* This chart illustrates care symbols accepted by the Federal Trade Commission as part of a
conditional exemption to the FTC Care Labeling Rule (16 CFR 423). This chart is referenced
from ASTM D5489-96c, Fig. 1, Commercial and Home Laundering and Drycleaning Symbols,
which illustrates the symbols to use for laundering and drycleaning instructions. As a minimum,
laundering instruction shall include, in order, four symbols: washing, bleaching, drying, and ironing;
and drycleaning instructions shall include one symbol. Additional words may be used to clarify
language-dependent instructions.
We urge you to purchase the latest Annual Book of ASTM Standards that contains the complete symbol set from
the American Society for Testing and Materials, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.
