| What the source establishes | The guild publishes a public map and lists shops by UK region, identifies member discounts, and provides a form for shops to join or correct an existing entry. | The guide cites published ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it discloses that ISO 10013:2021's 2026 systematic review is at close-of-review stage and separates every cited authority from product-specific technical and market decisions. |
