CEN/TC 222 - Feather and down as filling material for any article, as well as finished articles filled with feath
Preparation of standards for feather and down for use as filling material for any article covering: - terms and definitions; - specifications for performance and quality levels; - preparation of sampling methods; - preparation of testing methods. Preparation of standards for finished articles of bedding when filled with feathers and down. Preparation of standards for other finished articles filled with feathers and down, where the performance and specification of the finished article is dependent on both the feather and down filling and the textile fabric (E.G. certain items of clothing). Such standards no to conflict with work of other TCs.
