These Regulations may be cited as the Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) (Amendment) Regulations 1998 and shall come into force on 1st June 1998.

Section 2

The Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 1986 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

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

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