US amends rules under Textile Fiber Product Identification Act

  

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) amended the rules and regulations under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act to incorporate the most recent ISO 2076 standard for generic fiber names. The rules become effective on November 5, 2020.

The Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (16 CFR 303) requires that certain textiles sold in the United States disclose the generic names and percentages by weight of the constituent fibers in the product, the manufacturer or marketer name, and the country where the product was processed or manufactured. The recent amendments incorporated the latest version of the relevant ISO standard, ISO 2076:2013(E), “Textiles – Man-made fibers – Generic names”. The aim of the amendments is to reduce compliance costs, increase flexibility for disclosing fiber information to consumers and to help manufacturers develop labeling that satisfies the requirements of multiple countries.

The updated ISO 2076:2013 standard added seven generic fiber names that were not defined in the 2010 standard and are now incorporated in the amendment of the Textile Rules.
