This is the upstream of a synthetic spinner rather than the spinner itself: the rayon, other fibres and thermoplastic resin subparts are where polyester and viscose production sit. The record carries the general duty the part imposes. It does not enumerate the individual disclosures, exemptions and test conditions, which run to dozens of sections in the part itself.
Drafted from § 414.11, Applicability.
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.
