COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 6 February 1987

Whereas Annex II to Directive 71/307/EEC, which sets out the agreed allowances to be applied to the anhydrous mass of each fibre during the determination by analysis of the fibre content of textile products, gives, in items 1-2 and 3, two different agreed allowances for calculating the composition of carded or combed fibres containing wool and/or animal hair; whereas laboratories cannot always tell whether a product is carded or combed, and consequently inconsistent results can be obtained by applying this provision during checks on the conformity of textile products carried out in the Community; whereas laboratories should therefore be authorized to apply a single agreed allowance in doubtful cases;
Whereas in item 28 in the aforementioned Annex there is no need to distinguish between the different types of polyamide or nylon, the agreed allowances for which should therefore be brought into line;
Whereas in item 38 (glass fibre) the word 'filament' should be deleted since this fibre can also exist in a discontinous form;
Whereas the provisions in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Directives relating to Textile Names and Labelling,
