Why is a duvet I buy in Italy labelled with the UNI EN 12934? Is that duvet of a different quality?
In the case of a European standard such as the EN 12934 the procedure is as follows: the countries which have cooperated to formulate a European standard transfer the standard into national standard, after its text has been translated into the respective languages. In Germany the standard will then become a DIN standard, in Italy a UNI standard, in Great Britain a BS standard. The content of the standard will, however, not be affected by this.
All products which refer to the European standard EN 12934 must therefore fulfil the same requirements concerning the labelling.
