Overview

EN 12130:2018 - Feather and down - Test methods - Determination of the fill power (massic volume) is a CEN European Standard that defines a single validated procedure for measuring the fill power (massic volume) of processed feather and down used in filled manufactured articles (e.g., anoraks, quilts, sleeping bags). The method produces a reproducible height (mm) reading which is converted to massic volume (cm3/g or in3/30 g) and applies to finished plumage that has undergone normal processing (washing, drying, hygienic treatment).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Applicable to processed plumage fit for filled products; supersedes EN 12130:1998.
  • Principle: A fixed mass of filling material is placed in a calibrated cylinder, loosened, and compressed by a platen; the platen height is measured to calculate massic volume.
  • Conditioning methods (three options):
    • Method A - Steam conditioning: steam treatment, hot-air drying and 48 h conditioning in a standard atmosphere.
    • Method B - Tumble dry: 30 min tumble dry at 60 °C, then 48 h conditioning.
    • Method C - Box conditioning: high‑flow air blown into a closed cylinder followed by 48 h conditioning.
  • Apparatus & tolerances (examples specified):
    • Cylinder: internal diameter (289 ± 1) mm, height (500 ± 5) mm.
    • Weight plate + rod mass: (94.25 ± 1.20) g; plate diameter ≈ 286 mm with 128 holes Ø 3 mm.
    • Applied pressure on filling: (14.8 ± 0.2) Pa.
    • Manual loosening (wooden rods) or automatic loosening (blower and timed movement).
  • Procedure: Duplicate samples, multiple readings per sample (manual: 6 measurements total; automatic: 4), measured under standard atmosphere (EN ISO 139).
  • Calculations & precision:
    • Fill power (mm) → massic volume: Fill Power (mm) × 2.20 = cm3/g.
    • Alternate conversion to in3/30 g: Fill Power (mm) / 0.252.
    • Allowed testing variance: ±5%.
  • Test report must record conditioning method, specimen mass, fill power (mm), massic volume, deviations, and reference to EN 12130:2018.

Applications and users

  • Manufacturers and quality control of down-filled clothing, bedding and outdoor equipment (jackets, quilts, sleeping bags).
  • Independent testing laboratories and product certification bodies verifying fill performance claims.
  • Product developers and material specifiers choosing down grades based on loft/insulation performance.
  • Regulatory and procurement teams requiring standardized test evidence for product specifications.

Related standards

  • EN ISO 139 - Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing
  • EN 20187 - Standard atmosphere for conditioning and monitoring (ISO 187)
  • ISO 3310-1 - Test sieves - technical requirements
