Overview
EN 12132-2:1998 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies a method for testing the down proof properties of fabrics. Specifically, it describes an impact test used to evaluate the resistance of fabric to penetration by feather and down particles. This testing method is critical for assessing the quality and performance of textiles used in products containing feather and down fillings, such as bedding, outerwear, and insulated apparel.
The standard focuses on the determination of feather and down penetration through the primary tick fabric of a specimen containing such fillings. It uses a specialized impact apparatus to simulate the forces that might cause down to pass through the fabric during normal use or handling.
Key Topics
- Down Proof Properties: Evaluating a fabric's ability to prevent feather and down from escaping or penetrating, ensuring durability and maintaining the product's insulating properties.
- Impact Test Method: A controlled procedure employing an impact apparatus to apply forces and measure the fabric’s resistance to down penetration under dynamic conditions.
- Textile Performance Criteria: Guidelines for testing feather and down proofness directly related to the quality and functionality of textiles used in bedding and clothing products.
- Sample Preparation and Testing Protocols: Detailed instructions for preparing fabric samples containing down or feathers and subjecting them to repeatable impact tests.
- Penetration Measurement: Techniques for determining the extent of feather and down migration through the fabric, emphasizing consistent and reliable results.
Applications
EN 12132-2:1998 is essential for manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and product developers in industries where feather and down fillings are used. Key applications include:
- Bedding Industry: Ensuring down-proof ticking fabrics for duvets, pillows, and mattress protectors maintain performance and comfort.
- Apparel Manufacturing: Testing insulation materials in high-performance outdoor garments and down jackets to prevent feather leakage.
- Textile Quality Assurance: Establishing standardized testing in production lines for consistent evaluation of fabric down-proof capabilities.
- Product Development: Assisting research and development teams in selecting or improving down-proof textiles to enhance product longevity and user satisfaction.
- Certification and Compliance: Supporting compliance with industry standards and regulations related to textile performance involving natural fillings.
