📋 Tender Overview
Actions were carried out by the Ministry of Production and specialists from CITEccal Lima.In collaboration with the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), the Textile and Apparel Technical Unit of CITEccal Lima of the Technological Institute of Production (ITP), has developed a practical workshop focused on compliance with the Andean Technical Regulation for garment labeling. During the day, held at the CITEccal Lima facilities, more than 35 micro and small businesses (mypes) in the textile and clothing sector met to receive specialized guidance on the minimum labeling requirements established by Andean regulations.
The activity was marked by the participation of prominent experts in the field such as Julia Canchucaja Ruiz, professional from the Regulatory Department of PRODUCE, as well as Maria de los Angeles Davila and Ricardo Chua, specialists from the Textile and Apparel Technical Unit of Lima. During the presentations, vitally important topics were addressed, such as the relevance of labeling in the current context, the detailed review of the requirements of the Andean Technical Regulation and its practical application in the labeling of clothing. The importance of guaranteeing that labels are present at all stages of the marketing chain and that they comply with established technical specifications was especially highlighted, including the destruction of the label when removed from the garment to avoid its reuse.
Likewise, emphasis was placed on the inclusion of care and conservation instructions on the labels through legends, standardized symbols or both following the guidelines of the ISO 3758:2012 standard, which is essential to provide the consumer with clear and precise information about the product you are purchasing. Garment labeling not only meets a legal requirement, but is also positioned as an empowerment tool for the consumer, providing them with relevant information that allows them to make informed decisions in their purchasing process. This is why we urge all manufacturers in the sector to comply with local and international regulations on labeling, thus contributing to transparency and consumer protection.
The workshop has represented a significant step in strengthening the textile and clothing sector, by providing participating companies with the necessary tools to comply with established labeling standards, thus fostering a more solid and transparent relationship between manufacturers and consumers.
