Regulation EU 1007/2011 on Textile Fiber Names and Related Labeling and Marking of the Fiber Composition of Textile Products

Regulation EU 1007/2011 published in the European Union countries regulates the principles for the labeling and marking of textile fiber names and fiber composition of textile products. The said legal regulation brings together the three previously published regulations:

Regulation EU 1007/2011 on Textile Fiber Names and Related Labeling and Marking of the Fiber Composition of Textile Products

  • Legislation 73/44/EEC on the quantitative analysis of triple fiber blends
  • Legislation 96/73/EC on certain methods for the quantitative analysis of binary textile fiber blends
  • Legal regulation on textile names numbered 2008/121/EC

With this regulation, fiber content labeling and fiber content testing are now combined in a single legal regulation.

The European Union is consolidating legislation for textile names to simplify and improve the existing regulatory framework for the development and uptake of new fibers in order to encourage innovation in the textile and clothing sector.

In accordance with regulation EU 1007/2011, labeling or marking of fiber composition is mandatory to ensure that accurate and uniform information is provided to all consumers within the European Union. In order to avoid differences in practice between Member States, it is necessary to specify exact labeling or marking methods for certain textile products consisting of two or more components, as well as specifying the components of textile products that do not need to be taken into account for labeling, marking and analysis purposes.

In short, EU regulation 1007/2011 covers:

  • Rules for the use of textile fiber names and the corresponding labeling and marking of the fiber composition of textile products
  • Rules for the labeling or marking of textiles containing non-textile parts of animal origin
  • Rules for determining fiber composition
  • Rules for the quantitative analysis of binary and triple textile fiber blends and the determination of the fiber composition of textile products in order to improve the functioning of the internal market and provide accurate information to consumers
