Where a special pre-treatment is used the values b1, b2 and b3 shall be determined, if possible, by submitting each of the pure fibre constituents to the pre-treatment applied in the analysis. Pure fibres are those free from all non-fibrous material except those which they normally contain (either naturally or because of the manufacturing process), in the state (unbleached, bleached) in which they are found in the material to be analysed.

Where no clean separate constituent fibres used in the manufacture of the material to be analysed are available, average values of b1, b2 and b3 as obtained from tests performed on clean fibres similar to those in the mixture under examination, must be used.

If normal pre-treatment by extraction with light petroleum and water is applied, correction factors b1, b2 and b3 may generally be ignored, except in the case of unbleached cotton, unbleached flax (or linen) and unbleached hemp where the loss due to pre-treatment is usually accepted as 4 % and in the case of polypropylene as 1 %.

In the case of other fibres, losses due to pre-treatment are usually disregarded in calculations.

Calculation examples are given in Section IV.

II.1.   FIELD OF APPLICATION

This method is applicable to textile fibres of all types provided they do not form an intimate mixture and that it is possible to separate them by hand.

II.2.   PRINCIPLE

After identification of the textile components, the non-fibrous matter is removed by a suitable pre-treatment and then the fibres are separated by hand, dried and weighed in order to calculate the proportion of each fibre in the mixture.

• II.3.1. Weighing bottles or other apparatus giving identical results.

• II.3.2. Desiccator containing self-indicating silica gel.

• II.3.3. Ventilated oven for drying specimens at 105 ± 3 °C.

II.7.   PRE-TREATMENT OF LABORATORY TEST SAMPLES

See I.6.

II.8.   PROCEDURE

II.8.1.   Analysis of yarn

Take from the pre-treated laboratory test sample a specimen of mass not less than 1 g. For a very fine yarn, the analysis may be made on a minimum length of 30 m, whatever its mass.

Cut the yarn into pieces of a suitable length and separate the fibre types by means of a needle and, if necessary, a twist tester. The fibre types so obtained are placed in pre-weighed weighing bottles and dried at 105 ± 3 °C to constant mass, as described in I.7.1 and I.7.2.

II.8.2.   Analysis of cloth

Take from the pre-treated laboratory test sample a specimen of mass not less than 1 g, not including a selvedge with edges carefully trimmed to avoid fraying and running parallel with weft or warp yarns, or in the case of knitted fabrics in the line of the wales and courses. Separate the different types of fibres and collect them in pre-weighed weighing bottles and proceed as described in II.8.1.

II.9.   CALCULATION AND EXPRESSION OF RESULTS

Express the mass of each component fibre as a percentage of the total mass of the fibres in the mixture. Calculate the results on the basis of clean dry mass, adjusted by (a) the agreed allowances and (b) the correction factors necessary to take account of losses in mass during pre-treatment operations.

• II.9.1. Calculation of percentage masses of clean dry fibre, disregarding loss in fibre mass during pre-treatment:

P 3% = 100 – (P 1% + P 2%)

• P1% is the percentage of the first clean dry component,

• P2% is the percentage of the second clean dry component,

• P3% is the percentage of the third clean dry component,

• m1 is the clean dry mass of the first component,

• m2 is the clean dry mass of the second component,

• m3 is the clean dry mass of the third component.

• II.9.2. For calculation of the percentage of each component with adjustment by agreed allowances and, where appropriate, by correction factors for losses in mass during pre-treatment: see I.8.2.

III.   Method of quantitative analysis of ternary fibre mixtures by a combination of manual separation and chemical separation

Wherever possible, manual separation shall be used, taking account of the proportions of components separated before proceeding to any chemical treatment of each of the separate components.

III.1.   PRECISION OF THE METHODS

The precision indicated in each method of analysis of binary fibre mixtures relates to the reproducibility (see Chapter 2 relating to methods for quantitative analysis of certain binary textile fibre mixtures).

Reproducibility refers to the reliability, i.e. the closeness of agreement between experimental values obtained by operators in different laboratories or at different times using the same method and obtaining individual results on specimens of an identical homogeneous mixture.

Reproducibility is expressed by confidence limits of the results for a confidence level of 95 %.

By this is meant that the difference between two results in a series of analyses made in different laboratories would, given a normal and correct application of the method to an identical and homogeneous mixture, exceed the confidence limit only in five cases out of 100.

To determine the precision of the analysis of a ternary fibre mixture the values indicated in the methods for the analysis of binary fibre mixtures which have been used to analyse the ternary fibre mixture are applied in the usual way.

Given that in the four variants of the quantitative chemical analysis of ternary fibre mixtures, provision is made for two dissolutions (using two separate specimens for the first three variants and a single specimen for the fourth variant) and, assuming that E1 and E2 denote the precision of the two methods for analysing binary fibre mixtures, the precision of the results for each component is shown in the following table:

Component fibre	Variants	Variants	Variants
Component fibre	1	2 and 3	4
a	E1	E1	E1
b	E2	E1 + E2	E1 + E2
c	E1 + E2	E2	E1 + E2

If the fourth variant is used, the degree of precision may be found to be lower than that calculated by the method indicated above, owing to possible action of the first reagent on the residue consisting of components b and c, which would be difficult to evaluate.

III.2.   TEST REPORT

• III.2.1. Indicate the variant(s) used to carry out the analysis, the methods, reagents and correction factors.

• III.2.2. Give details of any special pre-treatments (see I.6).

• III.2.3. Give the individual results and the arithmetic mean, each to the first decimal place.

• III.2.4. Wherever possible, state the precision of the method for each component, calculated according to the table in Section III.1.

IV.   Examples of the calculation of percentages of the components of certain ternary fibre mixtures using some of the variants described in point I.8.1.

Consider the case of a fibre mixture which gave the following components when qualitatively analysed for raw material composition: 1. carded wool; 2. nylon (polyamide); 3. unbleached cotton.

VARIANT No 1

Using this variant, that is using two different specimens and removing one component (a = wool) by dissolution from the first specimen and a second component (b = polyamide) from the second specimen, the following results can be obtained:

• 1. Dry mass of the first specimen after pre-treatment is (m1) = 1,6000 g

• 1. Dry mass of the residue after treatment with alkaline sodium hypochlorite (polyamide + cotton) (r1) = 1,4166 g

• 1. Dry mass of the second specimen after pre-treatment (m2) = 1,8000 g

• 1. Dry mass of the residue after treatment with formic acid (wool + cotton) (r2) = 0,9000 g

Treatment with alkaline sodium hypochlorite does not entail any loss in mass of polyamide, while unbleached cotton loses 3 %, therefore d1 = 1,00 and d2 = 1,03.

Treatment with formic acid does not entail any loss in mass for wool or unbleached cotton, therefore d3 and d4 = 1,00.

If the values obtained by chemical analysis and the correction factors are substituted in the formula under I.8.1.1, the following result is obtained:

P1% (wool) = [1,03/1,00 – 1,03 × 1,4166/1,6000 + (0,9000/1,8000) × (1 – 1,03/1,00)] ×100 = 10,30

P2% (polyamide) = [1,00/1,00 – 1,00 × 0,9000/1,8000 + (1,4166/1,6000) × (1 – 1,00/1,00)] × 100 = 50,00

P3% (cotton) = 100 – (10,30 + 50,00) = 39,70

The percentages of the various clean dry fibres in the mixture are as follows:

wool	10,30 %
polyamide	50,00 %
cotton	39,70 %

These percentages must be corrected according to the formulae under I.8.2, in order to take account of the agreed allowances and the correction factors for any losses in mass after pre-treatment.

As indicated in Annex IX, the agreed allowances are as follows: carded wool 17,00 %, polyamide 6,25 %, cotton 8,50 %, also unbleached cotton shows a loss in mass of 4 %, after pre-treatment with light petroleum and water.

Therefore:

P1A% (wool) = 10,30 × [1 + (17,00 + 0,0)/100] / [10,30 × (1 + (17,00 + 0,0)/100) + 50,00 × (1 + (6,25 + 0,0)/100) + 39,70 × (1 + (8,50 + 4,0)/100)] × 100 = 10,97

P2A% (polyamide) = 50,0 × [(1 + (6,25 + 0,0)/100)/109,8385] × 100 = 48,37

P3A% (cotton) = 100 – (10,97 + 48,37) = 40,66

The raw material composition of the yarn is therefore as follows:

polyamide	48,4 %
cotton	40,6 %
wool	11,0 %
	100,0 %

VARIANT No 4

Consider the case of a fibre mixture which when qualitatively analysed gave the following components: carded wool, viscose, unbleached cotton.

Suppose that using variant 4, that is successively removing two components from the mixture of one single specimen, the following results are obtained:

• 1. Dry mass of the specimen after pre-treatment (m) = 1,6000 g

• 1. Dry mass of the residue after treatment with alkaline sodium hypochlorite (viscose + cotton) (r1) = 1,4166 g

• 1. Dry mass of the residue after the second treatment of the residue r1 with zinc chloride/formic acid (cotton) (r2) = 0,6630 g

Treatment with alkaline sodium hypochlorite does not entail any loss in mass of viscose, while unbleached cotton loses 3 %, therefore d1 =1,00 and d2 = 1,03.

As a result of treatment with formic acid-zinc chloride, the mass of cotton increases by 4 %, so that d3 = 1,03 × 0,96 = 0,9888, rounded to 0,99, (d3 being the correction factor for the respective loss or increase in mass of the third component in the first and second reagents).

If the values obtained by chemical analysis and the correction factors are substituted in the formulae given in I.8.1.4, the following result is obtained:

P2% (viscose) = 1,00 × (1,4166/1,6000) × 100 – (1,00/1,03) × 41,02 = 48,71 %

P3% (cotton) = 0,99 × (0,6630/1,6000) × 100 = 41,02 %

P1% (wool) = 100 – (48,71 + 41,02) = 10,27 %

As has already been indicated for Variant 1, these percentages must be corrected by the formulae indicated in point I.8.2.

P1A% (wool) = 10,27 × [1 + (17,0 + 0,0)/100)]/[10,27 × (1 + (17,00 + 0,0)/100) +48,71 × (1 + (13 + 0,0)/100) + 41,02 × (1 + (8,5 + 4,0)/100)] × 100 = 10,61 %

P2A% (viscose) = 48,71 × [1 + (13 + 0,0)/100] / 113,2057 × 100 = 48,62 %

P3A% (cotton) = 100 – (10,61 + 48,62) = 40,77 %

The raw material composition of the mixture is therefore as follows:

viscose	48,6 %
cotton	40,8 %
wool	10,6 %
	—
	100,0 %

STATEMENT BY THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

The European Parliament and the Council are mindful of the importance of providing accurate information to consumers, in particular when products are marked with an indication of origin, so as to protect them against fraudulent, inaccurate or misleading claims. The use of new technologies, such as electronic labelling, including radio frequency identification, may be a useful tool to provide such information while keeping pace with technical development. The European Parliament and the Council invite the Commission, when drawing up the report pursuant to Article 24 of the Regulation, to consider their impact on possible new labelling requirements, including with a view to improve the traceability of products.

[^E0001]: OJ L 134, 30.4.2004, p. 114.

[^E0002]: For the products falling within this item and sold in cut lengths, the inclusive labelling shall be that of the reel. The cordage and ropes falling within this item include those used in mountaineering and water sports.

[^E0003]: In some cases it is necessary to pre-treat the individual test specimen.

[^E0004]: For made-up and finished articles see point 7.

[^E0005]: See point 1.

[^E0006]: The laboratory carder may be replaced by a fibre blender, or the fibres may be mixed by the method of ‘tufts and rejects’.

[^E0007]: If the packages can be mounted in a convenient creel a number can be wound simultaneously.

[^E0008]: Method 12 is an exception. It is based on a determination of the content of a constituent substance of one of the two components.

[^E0009]: See Chapter 1.1.

[^E0011]: To ensure that the fibrous residue is immersed in the ammonia solution for 10 minutes, one may, for example, use a filter crucible adaptor fitted with a tap by which the flow of the ammonia solution can be regulated.

[^E0012]: The solubility of such modacrylics or chlorofibres in the reagent shall be checked before carrying out the analysis.

[^E0013]: Before carrying out the analysis, the solubility of the polyvinyl chloride fibres in the reagent shall be checked.

[^E0014]: Wild silks, such as tussah silk, are not completely soluble in 75 % m/m sulphuric acid.

[^E0015]: These reagents should be nitrogen-free.

[^E0016]: See for example the apparatus described in Melliand Textilberichte 56 (1975), pp. 643-645.

[^E0017]: See Chapter 1.1.

[^E0018]: The values of d are indicated in Chapter 2 of this Annex relating to the various methods of analysing binary mixtures.

[^E0019]: Wherever possible d3 should be determined in advance by experimental methods.
