(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 1986 (“the principal Regulations”) which require that when textile products are supplied or offered for supply commercially or are described in certain advertisements an indication of their fibre content shall be given.
In order to implement Commission Directive 87/140/EEC (OJ No. L56, 26.2.87, p.24) the main change is that a single agreed allowance is to be applied for calculating the composition of combed or carded fibres containing wool and animal hair or animal hair only, where it is impossible to ascertain whether the hair is combed or carded.
Minor corrections are made to the principal Regulations to ensure that they comply with the Directive implemented by those Regulations.
