This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2000, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2000. Annex A is informative. According

Where standards exist they often differ from each other. This inevita
19、bly presented an obstacle to the market or could lead the final consumer to incorrect interpretations. To obtain an unambiguous labelling the following items have been worked up: - denominations of the components of the plumage and of the fowl species; - information to be stated on labels and in com
20、mercial documents; - assessment of whether test results indicate conformity to the labelling based upon a stipulated tolerance. 1 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 su
21、ch components are derived (waterfowl or landfowl). It is applicable to finished feather and down materials, used as fillings 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
22、). 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or rev
23、isions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. EN 1883 Feather and down - Sampling in view of tests EN 1885:1998 Feather and down - Terms and

26、ysis in accordance with EN 12131. 3.2 feather plumage without quill feathers (EN 1885:1998, 2.3.1, 2.2 and 2.11) and with a minor content (totally not more than 9,0 %) of feather fibres (EN 1885:1998, 2.17, 2.19 and 2.8) and broken feathers (EN 1885:1998, 4.4) and damaged feathers (EN 1885:1998, 4.6
27、) NOTE: Feather fibres, broken feathers and damaged feathers are calculated on the feather content obtained from the analysis in accordance with EN 12131. 3.3 chicken feathers feathers derived from plucking of chickens (Gallus Gallus) and feathers from all kinds of landfowls (EN 1885:1998, 3.2.1, 3.
28、2, 2.3.1 and 3.2.2) 3.4 other elements broken elements and damaged elements, such as: - down fibres (EN 1885:1998, 2.18) exceeding 5,0 %; - feather fibres (EN 1885:1998, 2.17, 2.19 and 2.18) and broken feathers (EN 1885:1998, 4.4, 2.3.1 and 2.7) exceeding 9,0 % taken together; - reprocessed feathers
29、 (EN 1885:1998, 4.2.2 and 2.3.1) and reprocessed down; - residual matter (EN 1885:1998, 4.7) NOTE 1: For fillings containing 100 % down, “other elements” include waterfowl feather and landfowl feather. NOTE 2: For fillings containing 100 % waterfowl feather, “other elements” include down and landfow
30、l feather. NOTE 3: For fillings containing 100 % landfowl feather, “other elements” include down and waterfowl feather. 3.5 milled feather see EN 1885:1998, 4.3 and 4.2.1 3.6 foreign matter natural fibres other than feathers and down and any kind of man-made fibres or non-fibrous synthetic material

32、ent components of the plumage and the fowl species as well as the requirements covering the related composition in percent, with regard to the allowed tolerance, shall be respected. The quantitative composition shall be expressed as percent of the total filling mass. The content of other elements sh
33、all be casual, justified on technical ground and not derived from a systematic addition. 5 Components composition labelling 5.1 Percentages The labelling, that is the label on a product offered for sale or any other commercial document, shall state the percentages of the mass of the components in de
34、creasing order. The percentages shall be stated in groups rounded to 10 % save for blends with 85 % feather and 15% down. If percentages of the components to be declared are given in accordance with the results of the quantitative analysis of the filling, they shall be calculated applying the dispar
35、ities of Table 2 for the components down and other elements only; the feather percentage is calculated as difference to 100 of the sum of the percentages of down and other elements. 5.2 Classes (see Table 1) 5.2.1 Limits for other elements In addition to the percentage(s) described in 5.1, the label
36、 may report a classification based upon maximum limits for other elements (3.4). The content of other elements shall be part of the declared feather percentage. If the content of the other elements exceeds 15 %, it is mandatory to disclose it on the label. 5.2.2 Labelling for “new” Any filling may b
37、e labelled as “new” when its component(s) have not previously been used as filling material. A procedure to check if material has been previously used as filling may be the determination of the content of “other elements”. This procedure is not applicable for fillings containing “milled feather”.Pag
