If a Dark and Medullated Fibre Test is done on a lot of wool, is a DMFR still required to be calculated?

Yes.

The DMFR is reported on the Test Certificate and as certified information will remain with the lot through the supply chain, even if re-sold.

The DMF test is only a guidance test for the exclusive use of the owner of the wool and the results are not included on the Test Certificate. It remains private information to be used at the discretion of the owner.

Hence, it is information that may not be reported to potential buyers and processors of the wool.
