Scope

This standard establishes provisions for the labelling of the composition of the components of the plumage for use as fillings and of the fowl species from which such components are derived (waterfowl or landfowl). It is applicable to finished feather and down materials, used as filling of manufactured articles, at each stage in their commercial distribution. This standard is not applicable for fillings totally containing more than 0,5% of foreign matter (3.6).

Purpose

A revision of this project would be helpful to better clarify and define the rules for the labelling of processed down and feather for use as sole filling material.

A particular focus might be needed for the labelling of recycled material.
