The Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 1998

2.  The Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 1986(1) are amended as follows—

(a) in Part I of Schedule 2—

(i) in column 1 of item 2, by inserting “cashgora,” after “guanaco,”;

(ii) in column 2 of item 2, by inserting after “guanaco,” the words “cashgora goat (a cross between the kashmir goat and the angora goat),”;

(iii) in column 2 of item 20, by deleting the fibre description and substituting the following—

“a regenerated cellulose fibre obtained by a modified viscose process having a high breaking force and high wet modulus. The breaking force (B_c) in the conditioned state and the force (B_m) required to produce an elongation of 5% in the wet state are:

B_c (CN)≥1.3√T+2 T

B_m (CN)≥0.5√T

where T is the mean linear density in decitex”;

(iv) in column 2 of item 28, by deleting the fibre description and substituting the following—

“fibre formed from synthetic linear macromolecules having in the chain recurring amide linkages of which at least 85% are joined to aliphatic or cycloaliphatic units”; and

(v) after item 28, by adding the following new items—

	“Column 1	Column 2
Nos.	Name	Fibre Description
28A	aramid	fibre formed from synthetic linear macromolecules made up of aromatic groups joined by amide or imide linkages, of which at least 85% are joined directly to two aromatic rings and with the number of amide linkages, if the latter are present, not exceeding the number of amide linkages
28B	polyimide	fibre formed from synthetic linear macromodecules having in the chain recurring imide units
28C	lyocell	a regenerated cellulose fibre obtained by dissolution, and an organic solvent spinning process, without formation of derivatives. For this purpose organic solvent means essentially a mixture of organic chemicals and water; and”

(b) in Schedule 3, after item 28, by adding the following new items—

“Fibre No. in Schedule 2	Fibres	Percentages
28A	aramid	8.00
28B	polimide	3.50
28C	lyocell	13.00”
