Submission Text
The proposed new rules allow the use of ISO care label symbols. Unfortunately, the rules refer to an older set of ISO symbols and not the most recent (2012) symbols. The use of the most recent (2012) is necessary to achieve the most harmonious result, and to allow manufacturers to produce a label that will be acceptable in many countries
