One sample of washed loose flock failed to meet the requirement
of the Regulations in respect of the soluble matter; the
permitted maximum being 1.8 per cent, and the average soluble
impurities for the sample being 1.9 per cent. The Public Health
Committee directed that cautionary letters be sent to the
manufacturers and to the occupier of the premises where the
sample was taken. In addition, the Medical Officer of Health
for the area in which the flock was manufactured was informed.
The person from whom the sample was obtained has since
discontinued business.
One sample of cotton felt failed to meet the requirements in
respect of trash content; the permitted maximum being 7.5 per
cent and the average trash content of the sample being 7.6 per
cent. On the instructions of the Public Health Committee
cautionary letters were sent to the occupier of the premises
where the sample was obtained and to the manufacturer.
Further samples were taken and found to be satisfactory.
One sample of woollen mixture felt failed to conform in
respect of oil and soap content; the permitted maximum being
5 per cent, and the figures for the sample being oil content 4.5 per
cent., soap content 1.5 per cent. In addition, the sample
exceeded the permitted maximum of soluble impurities by 0.3 per
cent. The matter was reported to the Public Health Committee
who directed that cautionary letters be sent to both the manufacturer
and the occupier of the premises where the sample was
procured. Samples taken subsequently were found to be
satisfactory.
