The Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 19863 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 (Bc) in the conditioned state and the force (Bm) required to produce an elongation of 5% in the wet state are:
Bc (CN)≥1.3√T+2 T
Bm (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
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
