CHAPTER 2TEXTILE FIBRE NAMES AND RELATED LABELLING AND MARKING REQUIREMENTS
Article 8Fleece wool or virgin wool products
1
A textile product may be labelled or marked by one of the names set out in Annex III provided it is composed exclusively of a wool fibre which has not previously been incorporated in a finished product, which has not been subjected to any spinning and/or felting processes other than those required in the manufacture of that product, and which has not been damaged by treatment or use.
2
By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the names listed in Annex III may be used to describe wool contained in a textile fibre mixture if all the following conditions are met:
a
all the wool contained in that mixture satisfies the requirements defined in paragraph 1;
b
such wool accounts for not less than 25 % of the total weight of the mixture;
c
in the case of a scribbled mixture, the wool is mixed with only one other fibre.
The full percentage composition of such mixture shall be given.
3
The extraneous fibres in the products referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, including wool products which have undergone a carding process, shall not exceed 0,3 % by weight, shall be justified as being technically unavoidable in good manufacturing practice and shall not be added as a matter of routine.
