Feather and down - Test methods - Determination of water-soluble chlorides

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the water-soluble chloride content of feathers and down. The techniques involved are not adequate for determining significant differences where the water-soluble chlorides found by this method are below 50 mg/kg.

Federn und Daunen - Prüfverfahren - Bestimmung von wasserlöslichen Chloriden

Dieser Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehaltes von wasserlöslichen Chloriden von Daunen und Federn fest. Die angewandten Techniken sind nicht geeignet zur Bestimmung von wesentlichen Unterschieden, wenn die wasserlöslichen Chloride, die durch dieses Verfahren bestimmt werden, unter 50 mg/kg liegen.

Plumes et duvets - Méthodes d'essai - Détermination des chlorures solubles dans l'eau

Cette norme européenne décrit une méthode pour déterminer le contenu en chlorures solubles dans l'eau des plumes et duvets. Les techniques utilisées ne sont pas adaptées pour détecter des différences significatives lorsque les chlorures solubles à l'eau trouvés par cette méthode sont inférieurs à 50 mg/kg.

EN 1165:1996 - Feather and down - Test methods - Determination of water-soluble chlorides

Overview

EN 1165:1996 is a CEN (European Committee for Standardization) method standard for the determination of water-soluble chlorides in feathers and down. The standard establishes a laboratory procedure to quantify chloride levels that are extractable with water and is intended for use in quality assessment of feather and down materials used in textiles and bedding. The scope explicitly notes that the technique is not adequate to detect significant differences when measured levels are below 50 mg/kg.

Key Topics

  • Scope and purpose: Defines the objective of measuring water-soluble chlorides in feather and down to support material quality control and specification compliance.
  • Materials covered: Applies to natural feather and down samples used in textile products and auxiliary materials associated with the textile industry (ICS 59.040).
  • Analytical sensitivity: The method provides reliable results at or above the 50 mg/kg threshold; below this level the technique cannot reliably distinguish significant differences.
  • Standardization and provenance: Published as EN 1165:1996 and adopted in national collections (for example, SIST EN 1165:2000 as a Slovenian identical standard).

Applications

EN 1165:1996 is relevant to a range of practical uses in manufacturing, testing and compliance:

  • Quality control: Routine testing of incoming feather and down batches to verify they meet specified chloride limits and to assess material cleanliness.
  • Textile processing: Monitoring residues that may affect downstream processes, finishing, or product performance.
  • Regulatory and contractual compliance: Providing documented test results for product specifications, supplier agreements and conformity assessment where chloride content is a requirement.
  • Research and product development: Supporting comparative studies of cleaning and treatment processes for feather and down materials, while noting sensitivity limitations below 50 mg/kg.

Related Standards

  • CEN standards for feathers and down: EN 1165:1996 forms part of the body of European test methods for feathers and down; other related test methods address fill power, contamination, and cleanliness.
  • National adoptions: The standard may appear as an identical national standard (e.g., SIST EN 1165:2000) in member countries.
  • Industry guidance: Complementary guidance from textile auxiliary materials and bedding product standards can be used alongside EN 1165 to form a complete quality control program.

For organizations handling feather and down, EN 1165:1996 offers a standardized approach to measuring water-soluble chlorides that supports consistent quality assessment and supply-chain verification. Note the method's limitation for samples with chloride content below 50 mg/kg when interpreting low-level results.
