SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 is the Slovenian adoption of CEN amendment EN 12132-2:1998/A1:2003. It updates the European standard for testing the down proof properties of fabrics by impact test, with the change focused on how test cushions are prepared. The document is for laboratories, manufacturers and other users who need to run the impact test on fabrics used with feather and down fillings.

What does SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 specify?

SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 modifies EN 12132-2:1998, the part of the series for down proof testing of fabrics that uses an impact test. The amendment is narrowly focused: it changes the preparation of test cushions by replacing the filling table in clause 6.

In practice, that means the document is about setting the test specimen up correctly before the impact test starts. The way the cushion is filled affects the test conditions, so the amended table matters for consistent laboratory work and comparable results.

The document structure shown is short and practical:

• Foreword
• Clause 6, Preparation of test cushions

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004?

The key technical point in SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 is the replacement of Table 1 in clause 6. The revised table ties the mass of filling for the test cushion to the proportion of down and feathers in the material under test.

Preparation of test cushions

Clause 6 requires the operator to choose the filling mass from the table according to the down/feather balance of the sample. The table separates fillings into four composition bands, from down-rich fillings through mixed fillings to feather-rich fillings.

That matters because the test cushion has to reflect the material being evaluated. If the cushion is prepared with the wrong filling category, the impact test conditions are not aligned with the fabric under test, and the result is less useful for quality control or product comparison.

Relationship to the base standard

This amendment does not stand alone in practice. It updates EN 12132-2:1998, so users should apply the amended table when carrying out the impact test method from that base standard.

What the amendment changes for users

For a lab or producer, the practical task is straightforward:

• classify the filling by down and feathers content
• select the corresponding cushion filling mass from the amended table
• prepare the test cushion before running the impact test

That makes the preparation step more specific and helps different users apply the same setup logic.

Who uses SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004?

SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 is used by textile testing laboratories, quality teams, and manufacturers or suppliers working with feather and down filled fabrics and products. It supports the preparation step for impact testing, so it is relevant when a company needs repeatable test setup for product development, incoming inspection, or quality verification.

What changed in SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 is an amendment to EN 12132-2:1998. The stated change is the replacement of Table 1 in clause 6, which revises the filling of the test cushion.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004?

• EN 12132-2:1998 - the base European Standard for the impact test method for the down proof properties of fabrics; this amendment updates its clause 6.

What does the SIST EN 12132-2:2000/A1:2004 document contain?

The document contains a foreword and one technical clause, clause 6, on preparation of test cushions. The foreword identifies the CEN technical committee that prepared the amendment and states the normal national implementation rule for CEN standards. The technical content is concentrated in the replacement of Table 1, which gives the filling selection used when preparing the test cushion for the impact test. In other words, the document is mainly a setup update for the test method rather than a full rewrite of the test itself.
