1.1 本指南提供了一个统一的符号系统，用于披露纺织品的护理说明，如服装、计件商品、家庭和机构用品，以下简称“纺织品”或“纺织品” 1.2 本指南提供了一个全面的符号系统来表示护理说明，减少了依赖语言的护理说明。 1.3 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。括号中给出的值仅供参考。 1.4 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本指南提供了符号和使用系统，通过该符号和系统，可以以不依赖语言的简单、节省空间和易于理解的图形格式传达纺织品的护理说明。另请参见ADJD5489-E-PDF。目前，联邦贸易委员会护理标签规则认可指南 D5489 -96c。 4.2 护理符号是识别纺织品的家庭洗涤、商业洗涤、专业纺织品护理和投币式干洗的适当护理程序的重要手段。 4.3 在不了解语言的情况下，购买者可以根据所需的护理方法使用使用符号的护理标签来选择纺织品。联邦贸易委员会护理标签规则规定了指南 D5489 -96c符号。本指南中增加了16 CFR 423未涵盖的其他文字和符号变更。在美国，当护理标志仅包含在护理标签中时，联邦贸易委员会要求指南 D5489 -必须使用96c版本的符号。但是，本标准版本（指南 D5489 -18） 如果除了使用英文书写的完整护理说明外，还使用了符号，则可以使用。 4.4 在需要基于单词的护理标签系统的国家，护理符号系统可以用作补充系统。 4.5 本指南中每个符号的文字说明与术语一致 D123 、和术语 D3136 ，美国联邦贸易委员会护理标签规则，16 CFR 423和行业惯例（见 图1和 2. )。 图1 商业和家庭洗涤以及专业纺织品护理标志 注1: 此图显示了用于清洗和干洗说明的符号。洗涤说明至少应按顺序包括四个符号:洗涤、漂白、干燥和熨烫；并且，专业纺织品护理说明应包括一个符号。可以使用其他符号或文字来澄清说明。 图2 ASTM护理符号订购指南 4.6 护理标签符号系统基于五个基本护理符号，代表五种操作:洗涤、漂白、干燥、熨烫和专业纺织品护理。 4.7 一种颜色用于此护理标签系统中的所有护理符号。 注1: 虽然该符号系统使用一种颜色，但它与加拿大系统等三色系统相协调，因为无论是用一种还是三种颜色打印，说明都很清楚。 4.8 本指南未指定要使用的标签材料或织物的类型。然而，建议消费者舒适度适当。

1.1 This guide provides a uniform system of symbols for the disclosure of care instructions on textile products such as apparel, piece goods, and household and institutional articles, hereinafter referred to as “textile,” or “textile product.” 1.2 This guide provides a comprehensive system of symbols to represent care instructions reducing language-dependent care instructions. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This guide provides symbols and a system for their use by which care instructions for textile products can be conveyed in a simple, space-saving, and easily understood pictorial format that is not language dependent. See also ADJD5489-E-PDF. Currently, the FTC Care Labeling Rule recognizes Guide D5489 -96c. 4.2 Care symbols are an important means for identifying the appropriate care procedure for home laundering, commercial laundering, professional textile care, and coin-operated drycleaning, of textile products. 4.3 Care labeling using symbols can be used by the purchaser to select textiles on the basis of the care method required without knowledge of the language. The FTC Care Labeling Rule specifies Guide D5489 -96c symbols. Additional changes in words and symbols have been added to this guide which are not covered by 16 CFR 423. In the United States, when care symbols only are to be included in a care label, the FTC requires that the Guide D5489 -96c version of symbols must be used. However, the symbols, as included in this standard version (Guide D5489 -18), may be used if symbols are used in addition to full care instructions written in English wording. 4.4 In countries in which a word-based care labeling system is required, the care symbol system may be used as a supplemental system. 4.5 The word-based instructions for each symbol in this guide are harmonious with Terminology D123 , and Terminology D3136 , the United States Federal Trade Commission Care Labeling Rule, 16 CFR 423, and industry practice (see Figs. 1 and 2 ). FIG. 1 Commercial and Home Laundering and Professional Textile Care Symbols Note 1: This figure illustrates the symbols to use for laundering and drycleaning instructions. As a minimum, laundering instructions shall include, in order, four symbols: washing, bleaching, drying, and ironing; and, professional textile care instructions shall include one symbol. Additional symbols or words may be used to clarify the instructions. FIG. 2 Guide to Order of ASTM Care Symbols 4.6 The care label symbol system is based on five basic care symbols representing five operations: washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, and professional textile care. 4.7 One color is used for all care symbols in this care labeling system. Note 1: While this symbol system uses one color, it is harmonious with tri-color systems such as the Canadian system because the instructions are clear whether printed in one or three colors. 4.8 This guide does not specify the type of label material or fabric to use. However, appropriateness for consumer comfort is recommended.
