Welcome to the Canada Care Labeling section of the Apparel Search Website. 
 

"Since care labelling of textile is a voluntary program in Canada, the Competition Bureau leaves the decision to businesses if and when they want to adopt the new standard, published in December 2003 by the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB). The standard is harmonized with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) care symbols and the symbols in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (both not yet finalized)."
