The regulations distinguish tight-fitting from loose-fitting sleepwear and set a different test for each, which is the distinction a supplier has to get right before choosing a fabric. The record carries the general duty the instrument imposes. It does not enumerate the exemptions, schedules and test conditions, which are in the instrument itself.

This is a register, not advice. It records what an instrument says and when it applies. Whether it applies to a particular company, product or shipment is a question for somebody who knows that business, and the answer is frequently not what the summary above would suggest.
