Overview

EN 1885:2018/FprA1 is a European Standard developed by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 443, focused on the feather and down industry. This standard defines the principal terms and definitions used within the sector, ensuring a unified understanding among manufacturers, suppliers, and regulators. The amendment (prA1:2024) refines key terminology related to the sourcing and processing of feather and down materials, particularly distinguishing between new and recycled plumage.

This standard aims to support consistent communication and quality assurance across the European market for textiles and auxiliary materials involving feather and down products.

Key Topics

  • New Plumage
    Defined as down and feathers obtained from food production facilities (e.g., slaughterhouses) or rural/non-industrial farms. These materials have not been previously incorporated into a finished product or collected as post-consumer recycled materials.

  • Recycled Plumage
    Materials that are removed from the waste stream after consumer use (post-consumer waste), then reprocessed through washing, drying, and hygienic treatments before reuse in product manufacture. This process complies with EU waste recycling directives.

  • Foreign Matter
    Any non-plumage derived material found within feather and down products which may affect quality or safety.

These updated definitions promote clarity regarding the origin and treatment of feather and down materials, emphasizing sustainability and regulatory compliance.

Applications

EN 1885:2018/FprA1 is essential in the following applications:

  • Textile and Leather Technology
    Provides standardized terminology for manufacturers using feather and down as filling or insulation materials.

  • Product Quality Control
    Helps ensure consistent material classification, aiding manufacturers and quality inspectors in verifying material sources.

  • Supply Chain Management
    Facilitates proper material traceability, especially for distinguishing new from recycled plumage, supporting sustainable sourcing policies.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Aligns with European directives on waste management and recycling, aiding businesses in meeting environmental obligations.

  • Consumer Goods Manufacturing
    Used by producers of bedding, clothing, and upholstery to maintain transparency and product integrity.

Related Standards

To complement EN 1885:2018/FprA1, organizations may refer to:

  • EN Standards on Textile Testing
    Related standards covering testing methods for textile materials and auxiliaries provide additional quality assurance protocols.

  • EU Directives on Waste and Recycling (e.g., Directive 2008/98/EC)
    Regulatory frameworks governing waste handling and material recycling that influence classification of recycled plumage.

  • Standards for Feather and Down Hygiene
    Detailing hygienic treatment processes critical for the safe use of recycled plumage.
