English term or phrase: incorporate

Since the introduction of the Woolmark logo, which represents products made from 100 per cent Pure New Wool, two other marks have been added to incorporate blends with other fibres.

I am translating a text into Croatian and have some problems understanding the meaning of "incoporate" in that sentence.

Thanks for any suggestion, idea.

include the blends in / add the blends to (the Woolmark system)

Explanation:
The relevant dictionary definition is "to include or be included as a part or member of a united whole". It refers to including blends, as well as pure new wool, in the range of products which are entitled to be marked with a Woolmark logo.

It is important to be clear that "incorporate" does not refer here to combining fabrics. It does not means that blends are being incorporated with other fibres. A blend is in itself a combination of wool and another fibre.

What it means is that blends (of wool with other fibres) are being incorporated, and the thing into which they are being incorporated or included (the thing of which they are being made a part) is the range of products which bear Woolmark logos. The Woolmark logo itself is for 100% pure new wool. A blend of 50% or more pure new wool with another fibre has the Woolmark Blend logo, and a blend of 30-49% pure new wool with another fibre has the Wool Blend logo. So two new logos, corresponding to blends with other fibres, have been incorported into or added to the system, which was previously limited to 100% wool.

two other labels/trademarks for wool blends

Explanation:
The Woolmark is a label for 100% only wool.

Now two other labels or trademarks have been added for wool blends; your document might tell you what these blends are. Perhaps wool with a blend of nylon/cotton/acrylic/silk/rayon etc etc. So the 2 new labels will show what the wool is blended with

I see Charles has had the same sort of idea. However, I think it's the label or trademark rather than just a logo

and to come back to "incorporate"=added here, (the 2 new labels/trademarks for the wool blends).

so the 3 brands are

Woolmark

Woolmark Blend

Wool Blend.

I'm sure further research would establish what % these 2 other blends are allowed of non-wool fibre.

Explanation:
I think that the use of "incorporate" in the source text is an error or, at least, a poor use of language. What exactly are the other blends being incorporated into? What has actually happened, is that the scope of the labelling/certification system has been extended, by the addition of the two other marks, to include blends of wool with other fibres.
