in Annex VIII, chapter 2 is amended as follows: (a) in the Summary Table of point IV, the following row for method No 17 is added: ‘17 Polyester Certain other fibres Trichloroacetic acid and chloroform’; (b) method No 1 is amended as follows: (i) point 1.2 is replaced by the following: ‘2. wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), flax (7) true hemp (8), jute (9), abaca (10), alfa (11), coir (12), broom (13), ramie (14), sisal (15), cupro (21), modal (22), protein (23), viscose (25), acrylic (26), polyamide or nylon (30), polyester (35), polypropylene (37), elastomultiester (45), elastolefin (46), melamine (47), polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent (49) and polyacrylate (50). In no circumstances is the method applicable to acetate fibres which have been deacetylated on the surface.’; (ii) point 5 is replaced by the following: ‘5. CALCULATION AND EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Calculate the results as described in the general instructions. The value of ‘d’ is 1,00, except for melamine and polyacrylate, for which ‘d’ is 1,01.’; (c) point 1.2 of method No 5 is replaced by the following: ‘2. triacetate (24), polypropylene (37), elastolefin (46), melamine (47), polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent (49) and polyacrylate (50).’; (d) point 1.2 of method No 6 is replaced by the following: ‘2. wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), cupro (21), modal (22), viscose (25), acrylic (26), polyamide or nylon (30), polyester (35), polypropylene (37), glass fibre (44), elastomultiester (45), elastolefin (46), melamine (47), polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent (49) and polyacrylate (50). Note: Triacetate fibres which have received a finish leading to partial hydrolysis cease to be completely soluble in the reagent. In such cases, the method is not applicable.’; (e) method No 8 is amended as follows: (i) point 1.2 is replaced by the following: ‘2. wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), cupro (21), modal (22), viscose (25), polyamide or nylon (30), polyester (35), polypropylene (37), elastomultiester (45), elastolefin (46), melamine (47), polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent (49) and polyacrylate (50). It is equally applicable to acrylics, and certain modacrylics, treated with pre-metallised dyes, but not to those dyed with afterchrome dyes.’; (ii) point 5 is replaced by the following: ‘5. CALCULATION AND EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Calculate the results as described in the general instructions. The value of ‘d’ is 1,00, except in the case of wool, cotton, cupro, modal, polyester, elastomultiester, melamine and polyacrylate, for which ‘d’ is 1,01.’; (f) method No 9 is amended as follows: (i) point 1.2 is replaced by the following: ‘2. wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), cupro (21), modal (22), viscose (25), acrylic (26), polyamide or nylon (30), polyester (35), polypropylene (37), glass fibre (44), elastomultiester (45), melamine (47), polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent (49) and polyacrylate (50). When the wool or silk content of the mixture exceeds 25 %, method No 2 shall be used. When the polyamide or nylon content of the mixture exceeds 25 %, method No 4 shall be used.’; (ii) point 5 is replaced by the following: ‘5. CALCULATION AND EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Calculate the results as described in the general instructions. The value of ‘d’ is 1,00, except for melamine and polyacrylate, for which ‘d’ is 1,01.’; (g) method No 13 is amended as follows: (i) point 1.2 is replaced by the following: ‘2. wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), acetate (19), cupro (21), modal (22), triacetate (24), viscose (25), acrylic (26), polyamide or nylon (30), polyester (35), glass fibre (44), elastomultiester (45), melamine (47) and polyacrylate (50).’; (ii) point 5 is replaced by the following: ‘5. CALCULATION AND EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Calculate the results as described in the general instructions. The value of ‘d’ is 1,00, except for melamine and polyacrylate, for which ‘d’ is 1,01.’; (h) method No 15 is amended as follows: (i) point 1.2 is replaced by the following: ‘2. wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), cupro (21), modal (22), viscose (25), acrylic (26), polyamide or nylon (30), glass fibre (44), melamine (47) and polyacrylate (50). Where modacrylics or elastanes are present, a preliminary test shall first be carried out to determine whether the fibre is completely soluble in the reagent. Mixtures containing chlorofibres may also be analysed by using method No 9 or 14.’; (ii) point 5 is replaced by the following: ‘5. CALCULATION AND EXPRESSION OF RESULTS Calculate the results as described in the general instructions. The value of ‘d’ is 1,00, except in the case of polyacrylate, for which ‘d’ is 1,02, silk and melamine, for which ‘d’ is 1,01, and acrylic, for which ‘d’ is 0,98.’; (i) the following method is added: ‘METHOD No 17 Polyester and certain other fibres (Method using trichloroacetic acid and chloroform) 1. FIELD OF APPLICATION This method is applicable, after removal of non-fibrous matter, to binary fibre mixtures of: 1. polyester (35) with 2. polyacrylate (50) 2. GENERAL INFORMATION The principle, apparatus and reagent, test procedure, calculation and expression of results that apply to binary fibre mixtures of polyester with polyacrylate are those described in standard EN ISO 1833-25:2013. The ‘d’ value is 1,01.’;
