ToolsRelated topicsResourcesLabelling of TextilesIf you manufacture, import or sell consumer textile articles, you need to know the basic labelling requirements set out by the Textile Labelling Act and the Textile Labelling and Advertising Regulations. Dealer's ResponsibilityRetailers, manufacturers, importers and distributors of consumer textile articles are responsible for ensuring that the articles are labelled in the manner required by the regulations and that any claims or representations concerning the product's quality, performance, origin, etc. are factual. Dealers are encouraged to develop a "quality control" system that will help them be sure the fibre content and other information on their product labels or in advertisements is correct.

For more information on how to label articles containing fibres in amounts under 5%, or articles with trimming or ornamentation, see the Guide to the Textile Labelling and Advertising Regulations. ²Dealer Identity
