17、er and down have not been covered by national standards dealing with denomination and composition in all CEN countries. Where standards exist they often differ from each other. This inevitably presented an obstacle to the market or could lead the final consumer to incorrect interpretations. To obtai
18、n 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 commercial documents; - assessment of whether test results indicate conformity to the labelling based upon a stipu
19、lated 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 such components are derived (waterfowl or landfowl). It is applicable to finished feather and down materials, use
20、d 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). 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from ot
21、her 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 revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment o

25、and with a minor content (totally not more than 9,0 Yo) of feather fibres (EN 18851998, 2.17, 2.19 and 2.8) and broken feathers (EN 1885:1998,4.4) and damaged feathers (EN 1885:1998,4.6) NOTE: Feather fibres, broken feathers and damaged feathers are calculated on the feather content obtained from th
26、e analysis in accordance with EN 121 31. 3.3 chicken feathers feathers derived from plucking of chickens (Gallus Gallus) and feathers from all kinds of landfowls (EN 1885:1998,3.2.1,3.2, 2.3.1 and 3.2.2) 3.4 other elements broken elements and damaged elements, such as: - down fibres (EN 1885:1998, 2

31、quirements 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 shall be casual, justified on technical ground and not derived from a
32、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 decreasing order. The percentages shall be stated in groups rounded to
33、 10 % save for blends with 85 YO 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 disparities of Table 2 for the components down and other elements only; t
34、he feather percentage is calculated as difference to 1 O0 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 may report a classification based upon maximum limits for other e
35、lements (3.4). The content of other elements shall be pari of the declared feather percentage. If the content of the other elements exceeds 15 YO, it is mandatory to disclose it on the label. 5.2.2 Labelling for “new” Any filling may be labelled as “new” when its component(s) have not previously bee
36、n 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“. 08s102-2000 Page 6 EN 129341 999 Con tent of “other elements”(3.4)
