Woven fabrics of wool or fine animal hair, containing less than 85% by weight of wool or fine animal hair

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to the factory-gate production of woven fabrics whose wool and/or fine-animal-hair content is less than 85% by mass. It covers fabric manufacture from purchased yarn, including yarn preparation and weaving, and includes on-site wet processing, finishing, and dispatch packaging only when those operations are performed for the reported production lot.

The PCR excludes fabrics containing 85% or more wool or fine animal hair, knitted or crocheted fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, carpets, yarn production, fibre production, garment manufacture, distribution, use, and end-of-life. Upstream production of purchased yarn, water, energy, chemicals, and packaging is represented by linked upstream datasets rather than reproduced inside the foreground process.
