These labels must remain attached to the garment until it reaches the consumer, meaning they cannot be included on hang tags. If the garment has a neck, the country of origin information must be located on the inside centre of the neck, while other labels must be placed in easily noticed locations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 1rem;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">4.

Likewise, trimmings and ornamentation that do not exceed 5 per cent of the total composition of the garment can be omitted. Still, the phrase \u201cExclusive of Ornamentation\u201d must be listed at the bottom of the label.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Linings must be labelled separately, and all textile materials should be listed under their generic names rather than their trade names.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 1rem;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">5.

For example, care practices that may harm the garment must be disclosed and suggested washing temperatures are required. These instructions must be clear, legible and designed to last the garment&#8217;s life.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p aria-level=\"4\"><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 1rem;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">6.
