example, items of clothing that may be suitable for a business operating in an office environment may not be suitable for activities carried on at a plant nursery or a boat building factory.

Single Items of Clothing
20. Single items of occupational clothing, other than full body garments (such as dresses), will not be admitted to the Register.  Consequently, expenditure on such items is ineligible for deductibility under section 8-1 of the Act.

Corporate, Product or Service Identifiers
21. Corporate, product or service identifiers are a compulsory requirement for any design seeking admission to the Register.  There are two types of identifiers:

     (a) stand alone - a corporate, product or service identifier which is a discreet symbol, logo, initial, form of words etc. and which is distinct from the item of clothing to which it is affixed; and

     (b) pattern - a corporate, product or service identifier which is used in the form of a distinctive pattern over the entire item of clothing and which forms an integral part of that clothing.

The identifier does not include outlines or boxes which are not part of the logo.

22. An identifier must appear at least once on the external surface of each item of occupational clothing including accessories.  In addition, the occupational clothing must be designed to ensure that when two or more items are worn together at least one 'stand alone' identifier or an approved identifier pattern should be plainly visible to the casual observer.  Furthermore, the clothing must not, after the addition of identifiers, be available for rental or purchase by the general public.

'Stand Alone' Identifiers
23. The identifier must be in a contrasting colour or shade to that used for the item to which it is attached and be of sufficient size to be plainly visible to the casual observer from a distance of two metres.  The employer, product or service depicted must also be easily identifiable from the same distance.  The minimum size of stand alone identifiers to be used are:
     (a) Clothing items: The stand alone identifier should be sufficient to cover 80% of a 4 square centimetre area (eg 2 cm x 2 cm, 1 cm x 4 cm etc.)  This will allow identifiers of different shapes to qualify.

     (b) Accessories: The stand alone identifier should cover a 1 square centimetre area.

    These are minimum qualifications only, and the identifiers may be larger.

24. A 'stand alone' identifier must be permanently affixed by being, for example, ironed on, sewn down on all sides, embroidered into, or printed onto an item of clothing.  Detachable badges, pins, buttons and flag tags sewn into seams are not acceptable and will not qualify clothing for entry on the
