These Regulations amend the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 1986 (“the principal Regulations”), as amended by the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 1988 and the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 1994. The principal Regulations, as amended, implement Council and Parliament Directive 96/74/EC (O.J. No. L32, 3.2.1997, p.38), which consolidated Council Directives 71/307/EEC (O.J. No. L185, 16.8.1971, p.16) and 83/623/EEC (O.J. No. L353, 15.12.1983, p.8) and Commission Directive 87/140/EEC (O.J. No. L56, 26.2.1987, p.24).
These Regulations implement Commission Directive 97/37/EC (O.J. No. L169, 27.6.1997, p.74). They add four new fibre names and corresponding fibre descriptions to the list in Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations and they also replace the fibre descriptions corresponding to the fibre names “modal” and “polyamide or nylon” in that list (regulation 2(a)). The Regulations also amend Schedule 3 of the principal Regulations by adding agreed allowances for three of the new textile fibres (regulation 2(b)).
