Testing Guide for Restricted Substances in Major Apparel’s Materials & Components
1. Flexible PVC including Plastisol prints
2. May be found in stain and soil resistant treatments and water repellent finishes
3. Rot proofing agent
4. May be used for dyeing polyester and acetate fibers
5. Requirements applicable to skin contact items such as jewelry, rivets and metal press fasteners
6. High risk for PVC coatings
Key to symbols
Chemical may be found in indicated substrate Commonly used chemical may be found in indicated substrate
Remark: This table is not a definitive or exhaustive list of chemicals and their end-uses. It is intended only as a guideline as to the most likely substrates in which some of the commonest restricted substances may occur. The indication of possible presence of substance does not infer that it will always be present nor that it is always necessary to conduct testing to prove the absence of said chemical.
While trendy designs and unique colors may initially sell a garment, it’s ultimately the quality
and safety that will ensure customer loyalty, generate repeat business, and preserve a
brands reputation. MTS provides a complete range of product testing and quality assurance
solutions for the softlines industry. Our extensive capabilities cover areas from bulk fabric,
preproduction garments, and children’s sleepwear testing, to home textiles, curtains, table
cloths, bedding, upholstery and more. MTS will ensure your products are compliant with all
applicable US and international regulations. In addition, physical, performance, and special
claims testing with MTS will ensure the product consistently meets or exceeds your
customer’s expectations. This booklet will help to guide you through some of the common
questions our Technical consultants are often asked.

during cleaning or drying.
Dry cleaning in all solvents normally
used for dry cleaning
Dryclean in white spirit or
Trifluorotrichloroethane.
Dryclean in perchloroethylene, and
all solvents listed for the symbol F .
Dryclean in accordance with F but
with restricted water amount or

during cleaning or drying.
Bleaching
- Only non-chlorine bleach when needed
- Use non-chlorine bleach only
- Chlorine bleach should not be used
Dry Clean
- Dry cleanable
- Dry cleaning recommend
- Dry clean only
- Dry clean - no steam
- Do not dry clean
Ironing
- Do not iron
- Cool
- Warm
- Hot
- Steam
Drying method (may be tumble dried - cold/warm/hot, drip dry, dry flat, line dry)
Agitation
- Hand wash
- Short machine wash: shorter process than is normal. Agitation including rinsing can be reduced
- Gentle machine wash: low mechanical action (slow speed)
- Machine wash: normal washing process
Note: Washing temperature and agitation may be linked to form a concise phrase, e.g.: warm hand wash,
short machine wash warm, hot machine wash.

Overview of the Japanese Care Labeling System
The new Japanese care labeling system “JIS L 0001 : 2014”, replacing the existing “JIS L 0217: 1995”, has
been approved by the Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) and it will be effective from December 1, 2016.
This new care labeling standard is to harmonize the ISO International care labeling system that is widely
adopted by European countries.
