< p > June 12, 2014, the United States intends to amend its rules and regulations (wool rules or rules) of the wool products Labelling Act in 1939 to comply with the requirements of the "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "woolen suit fabric < /a > label fairness and the international standard consistency act". The bill amended the labeling requirements of cashmere and certain other wool products and was consistent with the revised rules and regulations (Textiles rules) of the textiles textile products Identification Act.

< p > US amended "< a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp > wool products < /a > labeling act.


< p > if we want to rank the world's wool products importing countries, the United States is definitely a "leader". For the import of wool products in addition to the high quality requirements, the requirements for labels are equally rigorous.

In order to adapt to the endless changes and development of the wool industry, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been soliciting public opinions on the wool products labelling bill rules since January 2012. In response to the comments received, FTC proposed amendments to clarify and update these rules to make them more flexible.

The changes in the proposal include the inclusion of new definitions of cashmere and fine wool in the wool products labeling act, clearly describing the description of new products containing wool and revising the relevant provisions that allow the specific tag to disclose fiber labels and properties.

< /p >


< p > according to the public opinion catalogue published by FTC website, 5 organizations including the American cashmere camel maker (CCMI), the American fashion industry association (USFIA) and the international wool fabric organization (IWTO) have all expressed their views on the revised motion.

Various agencies have expressed the necessity of continuously updating and revising the wool Label Act.

< /p >


< p > opinions mainly focus on the application scope and standard of SUPERS concept value, and two specifications for the use of fiber tag.

According to the proposal of the two organizations of IWTO and CCMI, it is necessary to clarify the range of products applicable to the SUPERS concept.

According to the rules set up by IWTO for the application of Super "S" and "S" marking wool fabrics on fabrics, the concept of SUPER can only be used to describe the products made of pure new wool, while the "S" value depends on the average fiber diameter of the wool used. The SUPERS code should be determined by the average fiber diameter of the wool detected in the final product; besides, it is not allowed to use the word "SUPER" in the manufacture of blended wool and non woollen fibers, while the natural non wool or man-made fibers can not be used for any form of S encoding.

< p > on the use of fiber tag, the motion of amendment suggests that if the wool textile products contain fibers other than the description in the tag, the tag should be supplemented by "not providing the full label content information of the product".

According to USFIA's suggestion, it is better to cancel the disclosure requirement, because fiber producers usually do not know whether the textile products contain fibers that are not displayed on the tag, so all fiber labels may have to add such a sentence.

Assuming that the fiber described in the tag is the only fiber product contained in the textile, it is bound to mislead consumers.

< /p >


< p > China is not the largest country in wool resources, but it is definitely the world's largest producer of "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "woolen products < /a > production and processing.

Most of the export quality of wool products is based on buyers' standards, that is, production according to the requirements of buyers. However, the label of wool products exported to the United States is careless. It needs to comply with the regulations issued by the FTC on wool label, and enterprises need to pay close attention to the relevant changes.

China Leather net will also closely follow the FTC website's revision process and update contents of the wool products label act, and provide relevant information for enterprises at the first time.
