As a national organization, GINETEX Switzerland is the first point of contact for all issues relating to textile labelling, its licensing and also for its further development in line with the needs of the textile industry.

First point of contact for industry, trade and consumers

GINETEX informs producers, retailers, sales staff, consumers and consumers about correct and up-to-date textile labeling. It is the point of contact for answering questions from its licensees and interested companies or consumers about textile labeling

Enforcement and assurance of the ISO standard

The GINETEX care labels have been an ISO implemented standard since 2005. GINETEX thus ensures the uniform presentation of care symbols with the aid of trademark protection measures. It also supports the textile industry in the correct application.

It is responsible for issuing the licenses required for the use of care labels protected by trademark law in Switzerland.

Adaptation to technical and ecological developments

The introduction of new fibres and finishes, new detergents and new solvents for professional textile cleaning as well as changes to washing programs may require adjustments or innovations in textile labeling.

GINETEX Switzerland therefore works closely with all parties and sectors interested in textile labeling at a national level. It also informs licensees and contractual partners about corresponding changes.

Expanding the national and international network

The national organization GINETEX Switzerland maintains and expands its contacts on an ongoing basis as part of its cooperation with the national organizations of GINETEX and the European and international standards organizations CEN and ISO.
