Foreword

This Standard is the revision of FZ/T 01053-1998 "Textiles - Designation of Fibre

Content". Compared with FZ/T 01053-1998, this Standard has the following main

changes.

- Textile products not within the scope of this Standard are added in Appendix A.

- Normative reference "Textiles - Man-made Fibres - Generic Names "(ISO 2076.

1999) is added in Appendix B.

- Terms and definitions in Chapter 3 are added;

- The original three chapters (i.e. marking requirements, marking principle and

content tolerance) are adjusted to four chapters (i.e. fibre content labeling

requirements, fibre content and fibre name, fibre content expression methods and

fibre content tolerance).

- The requirements of attachment mode of label, label quantity of whole set of

products, label material and words on tag are added.

- It makes clear that the mass of percentage content is the conventional mass.

- "new type of fibre" and the provision that fibre morphology characteristics may be

described are added.

- The fibre content expression methods of different products are detailed, and

examples are added.

- Content deviation is simplified and unified as 5% (10% for filler), and the deviation

of low content is added.

- The chapter "Judgment of Conformity of identification of fibre content" is added.

- Appendixes A, B and C are added.

This Standard replaces FZ/T 01053-1998 from the implementation date.

Appendix A is normative; Appendix B and Appendix C of this Standard are

informative.

This Standard was proposed by China National Textile and Apparel Council.

This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of Foundation Subcommittee of National

Technical Committee on Nuclear Energy of Standardization Administration of China

(SAC/TC 209/SC 1).

3 Terms and Definitions

The following terms and definitions are applicable to this Standard.

3.1

Textile products

It refers to the products with natural fibre and chemical fibre as principal raw material,

and produced by such process as spinning, weaving and dyeing or then by sewing

and compounding, for example, yarn, textile and its finished products.

3.2

Permanent label

It refers to legible label which always attaches on product and be able to withstand the

maintenance program stated in the product instruction.

4 Fibre Content Labeling Requirements

4.1 Each product shall be attached with a fibre content label indicating the name and

content of each component fibre in product.

4.2 Each finished product shall be attached with a permanent label of fibre content.

4.3 As for the products adopting permanent labels which influence product use or for

the products for which permanent label is not suitable (for instance, shell fabric, wool,

sewing thread and sock), other type of label may be adopted, such as tag.

4.4 As for the products which are to be sold in box or bag and for which permanent

label is not suitable, where the fibre composition of each product, fibre content label

may be provided in marketing unit.

4.5 Where the wrapped products are sold, if the fibre content information on textile

products (products meeting the requirements of 4.4 are excluded) is not clear, the

fibre content of products shall be marked on package or product instruction.

4.6 As for a whole set of products composed of two or more unit products of different

fibre content or a whole set of products with the same fibre content but with each unit

as an independent product for sell, separate fibre content label shall be provided for

each product.

4.7 Where a whole set of products with the same fibre content are delivered to final

consumers, the information of fibre content may be only marked on one unit of the

products.

4.8 As for the products not being sold to final consumers, the contents of fibre

5 Marking Principle of Fibre Content and Fibre Name

5.1 Fibre content shall be expressed as a percentage of this fibre accounting for

fibre total amount of product or some part of product, it shall be marked to integer.

5.2 Generally, fibre content is expressed as a percentage of conventional mass

calculated adopting net dry mass and convention moisture regain.

Note. as for cotton or linen products, fibre content may be expressed as net dry mass percentage, but net dry content

shall be clearly indicated; where microscope is adopted, the fibre content shall be the results obtained by standard

method; the fiber with conventional moisture regain unknown shall be expressed as the moisture regain of the same

kind of fiber or the standard moisture regain.

5.3 The names of fibres shall be standard and meet the requirements of relevant

national standard or professional standard. The names of natural fibres shall be in

accordance with those stated in GB/T 11951, and the names of down and feather

5.5 Terms accurately describing the morphology characteristics of fibres may be

added before and after the names of fibres, for instance, polyester (seven holes) and

mercerized cotton.

Note. relevant parties shall provide certification or verification method for describing the morphology characteristics of

fibres, if necessary.

6 Fibre Content Expression Methods and Examples

6.1 As for the product with only a kind of fibre composition, "100 %", "pure" or "all"

shall be added before or after the fibre name (see example 1).

Example 1.

Example 10.

Shell fabric. 80% cotton / 20% Polyamide

Lining. 100% polyester

Filler. greyduck down (down content 80%)

Down content. 150 g
