ISO 30023:2021(E)
Introduction
ISO 15797 was developed to assist manufacturers, suppliers and launderers to assess and specify
workwear garments for use in the textile rental industry. ISO 15797 also had an application in the
emerging personal protective equipment (PPE) clothing market.
While ISO 15797 made a significant beneficial impact on the industry, there was still a requirement to
supply information in a clear but uncomplicated way down an often-extended chain to the launderer.
A labelling code using symbols (see ISO 3758) has been successfully used for this purpose by the retail
textile industry for many years and has, by and large, proved to be a success for textile producers,
retailers, detergent suppliers, professional dry and wet cleaners and, of course, the customer who
launders the products at home.
No such labelling code existed for the professional laundry sector. This document provides an
equivalent, but visually distinctly different, code of symbols for the professional industrial laundering
of workwear and protective clothing.
