COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/2/EC

of 6 January 2006

amending, for the purposes of its adaptation to technical progress, Annexe II to Directive 96/73/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain methods for quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 96/73/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1996 on certain methods for quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Directive 96/74/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 December 1996 on textile names (2) requires labelling to indicate the fibre composition of textile products, with checks being carried out by analysis on the conformity of these products with indications given on the label.

 

(2)

Uniform methods for quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures are provided in Directive 96/73/EC.

 

(3)

On the basis of recent findings by a technical working group, Directive 96/74/EC was adapted to technical progress, by adding the fibres polylactide and elastomultiester to the list of fibres set out in the Annexes I and II to that Directive.

 

(4)

It is therefore necessary to define uniform test methods for polylactide and elastomultiester.

 

(5)

Directive 96/73/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

 

(6)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Directives relating to Textile Names and Labelling,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
