On April 4, 2014, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published in the Federal Register a final rule amending the rules and regulations under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (Textile Rules or Rules) to incorporate the updated International Organization for Standardization (‘‘ISO’’) standard 2076:2010(E); allow certain hang-tags that do not disclose the product’s full fiber content; better address electronic commerce by amending the definition of the terms “invoice” and “invoice or other paper”; update the guaranty provisions by, among other things, replacing the requirement that suppliers provide a guaranty signed under penalty of perjury with a certification, and revising the form used to file continuing guaranties with the Commission under the Textile, Fur, and Wool Acts accordingly; and clarify several other provisions. The amended Rules are effective on May 5, 2014. The incorporation by reference of the ISO standard 2076:2010(E) is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of May 5, 2014. |
