3. Requirements:

(3.2) Size and color — Each model of label shall conform as to size and color with the prescriptions mentioned on each model shown in an appendix to this Schedule. The size given is exclusive of the trim for attachment and the extension used to print the following:

(a) the manufacturer’s name as desired;

(b) the nature of the 3 main forms of stuffing;

(c) inscriptions as prescribed or permitted under other Acts.

(3.3) Inscriptions on labels — All inscriptions on labels shall conform to the inscriptions shown on each model in an appendix to this Schedule and shall be printed in indelible black ink, subject to the following exceptions:

(a) for labels 1A, 1B and 1C, the permit number may be marked with a rubber stamp, providing the inscription is done in black ink and is perfectly legible;

(b) for type 2 labels, the permit number and the name of the owner of the article being renovated may be written with a ball point pen or typewritten in a clear and legible manner.

(3.4) Inscription of composition:

(3.4.1) The inscription of the nature of the 3 main forms of stuffings by mass shall be marked on the face of extended labels, models 1A, 1B and 1C only. The word “composition” shall appear on the label before or above the nature of the stuffing.

(3.4.2) Inscriptions prescribed under other Acts may be printed on the extension for label models 1A, 1B and 1C, but below or beside the inscriptions prescribed by this Regulation. These inscriptions may be marked by a rubber stamp, providing the inscription is done in black ink and is perfectly legible.

(3.4.3) Where under other Acts, the nature of the stuffing already appears on the label prescribed or on another label, it shall not be necessary to print it on the label prescribed by this Regulation.

4. Models of labels

(4.1) The white label (model 1A) shall be used for upholstered furniture and bedding articles containing “new material only”, the 3 main stuffings used being described, in order of importance, on the label extension.

(4.2) The white label (model 1B) shall be used, subject to section 4.2.1, for all stuffed articles except upholstered furniture and bedding articles and containing “new material only”, the 3 main forms of stuffing used, being described, in order of importance, on the extension.

(4.2.1) The white label (model 1C) may be used for all small stuffed articles, except upholstered furniture and bedding articles, and containing “new material only”, the 3 main forms of stuffing used being described, in order of importance, on the extension.

(4.3) The model 2 green label “renovated article” shall be used for any renovated article or article under renovation.

(4.4) The model 3 yellow label “second-hand article” shall be used for any second-hand article.

5. Attachment of labels:

(5.1) In all cases, labels shall be attached in a place where they may be easily seen and solidly enough for the attachment to be more resistant to pulling and shearing than the material of the label.

(5.2) Labels shall be sewn to one of the seams of the article, solidly attached with staples or solidly glued, so as to be easily seen.

(5.3) Labels for upholstered furniture shall be attached solidly to the front of the frame so as to be easily seen when the cushions are removed or to the front of the bottom in such a manner as to hang down and be easily seen when the piece of furniture is in its normal position.

(5.4) Where the seat of a chair is manufactured and installed as a separate unit and where the under side is a hard surface, the label may be printed there in indelible black ink with a rubber stamp so as to be clearly legible.

(5.5) For stuffing delivered to manufacturers and renovators of upholstered and stuffed articles, a model 1A label shall be attached solidly to the outside wrapping or directly glued to the stuffing if not wrapped, so as to be easily seen.

(5.6) A model 4 label “off sale” affixed by an inspector on articles or stuffing that do not comply with the Act shall be attached to the covering material of stuffing by a wire whose ends shall be joined by a lead seal installed by the inspector.

(5.7) Usually one label is sufficient for each separate article. In the case of an upholstered or stuffed article made up of several identical pieces, only one label may be attached to one of the pieces, in order to reduce the number of labels.
