Since 1999 the European labelling standard EN 12934 has been applied for fillings consisting of down and feathers.
EN 12934 is flanked by 24 other standards amongst other things defining requirements or testing methods.
One of these standards (EN 1885) specifies terms and definitions for the feather and down sector.
Excerpts from this standard are available on (providing illustrations) www.edfa.eu -> consumer information -> glossary: For instance the definition of the terms down, duck feather, goose feather etc.
Another European standard lays down requirements for hygiene and cleanliness of the filling material consisting of down and feathers (EN 12935). Adherence to this standard is documented by the Daunasan® / Downafresh® brand.
