The EN standard for down

When you buy a duvet, you trust what is on the label. The EN standard gives that trust a firm ground.


What the standard requires

EN12934 requires manufacturers to state what is in the filling: bird, origin, new or reused materials and quality class.


Our role

FJA-Oeyen has worked for generations with the highest quality class and with suppliers who guarantee animal welfare under strict rules. Standards are no ornament, but a frame for honest work.


The classes

Class I is the highest grade. It stands for new materials and a high purity of the stated filling. Lower classes allow more deviations.


New materials

The mention of new materials is essential. Recycled down loses volume faster. Those who seek lasting comfort therefore look not only at the word down, but at the class behind it.


Why a standard brings calm

A standard makes comparing fairer. It stops words like pure, new or quality from being used loosely. For a buyer that matters: you better know what you read.


What you may ask

Feel free to ask about class, origin and composition. A good duvet can bear those questions. Those who work with good materials have no reason to stay vague.
