In December 2023, there was a significant update to ISO 3758, with many important wash label symbols updated.

This fourth edition ISO 3758-2023 cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 3758:2012), which has been technically revised.

The main changes are as follows:

● some exemptions have been introduced into the Scope (see clause 1);

● a new symbol has been introduced for wash by hand at ambient temperature in Table 1;

● a new symbol has been introduced for ironing without steam in Table 5;

● new solvents have been introduced in Table 6;

● graphical changes have been introduced in symbols of wash by hand, do not wash(in Table 1),do not bleach(in table 2) and do not iron(in Table 5),in order to align to the GINETEX ones;

● Three alternative examples of use of symbols have been introduced in 5.3;

● a new Annex D, “Adaption of registered graphical symbols for use in practice”, has been added.

The main changes are shown in the table as below:
