Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations set out a list of names to be used for different types of textile fibres and fibre descriptions. They also set out the percentage allowances to apply to the anhydrous mass of each fibre when determining composition of mixtures by weight.
These Regulations amend the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 1986 (“the principal Regulations”). They consolidate Schedules 2 and 3 to the principal Regulations and incorporate amendments made previously in the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 1988, the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 1998 and the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 2005. They also add a new entry (elastomultiester) to the list in Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations, and amend Schedule 3 by adding the agreed tolerance for elastomultiester. The numbering of textiles in Schedules 2 and 3 of the principal Regulations has been changed to reflect the numbering of Directive 96/74/EC, as amended. Minor corrections have also been made to correct typographical errors.
These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2006/3/EC amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annexes I and II to Directive 96/74/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on textile names (O.J. No. L5, 10.1.2006, p.14). The principal Regulations implement Council Directive 96/74/EC.
A regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on the costs to business (together with a transposition note) is available from the Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate, Department of Trade and Industry, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET. It is also annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website. Copies of the regulatory impact assessment and the transposition note have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
