RAG FLOCK AND OTHER FILLING MATERIALS
The Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act, 1951, requires the registration of
premises where filling materials are used in the manufacture of bedding, toys, baby
carriages and other articles of upholstery and the licensing of premises where rag flock
is manufactured or stored for distribution. Regulations made under the Act apply standards
of cleanliness for filling materials and prescribe a form of records to be kept by occupiers*
of registered or licensed premises.
Five premises registered under the Act were inspected and found to be satisfactory.
