A prescribed consumer textile article is one included in Schedule I; Schedule II lists what is exempt. Second-hand articles clearly labelled as such are exempt, and so are articles made up for an individual. 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.
Drafted from section 5(1).
A disclosure label must show the textile fibre content of the article in the manner prescribed in Part III of the regulations, together with the name and postal address of the dealer.

Part III governs how fibre content is expressed, including generic names, fibres with no prescribed generic name, and how pile, coated and sectioned articles are handled. 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.
Drafted from section 11(1).
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.
