Any textile sold, imported, or produced for sale in Germany is required to have a label indicating the type and proportion by weight of its constituent raw materials.Textile raw materials are filaments or hairs which can be spun, including bands and flexible tubes not wider than 5mm.For example, if a T-shirt consists of 80% cotton and 20% elastane, this has to be declared on the label of the garment.Annex four lists products that don't need a label but just an indication of their composition at the site of sale.This applies in particular to things traditionally sold per meter like ribbons or elastic tape.
