• A "label" is any label, mark, sign, device, imprint, stamp, brand or ticket. Labels containing information relating to fiber content fall
into two classifications: representation labels and disclosure labels.
• A representation label is a label containing any information with respect to the textile fiber content of the article to which it is
applied and may contain other information not required by the Regulations.
• A disclosure label is a representation label containing required information which is provided according to the provisions of the Act
and Regulations for a consumer textile article. Both required and non ‑required information may be shown on the same label.
