| Oeko-Tex class 1 |
|
|
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is an independent international product testing system for textiles.
It has four product classes, which differ in the amount of residual chemicals they permit. The classification does not appear on the label.
Ringsted Dun has opted to certify all its products in accordance with the strictest requirements for Class I, which means that the products are suitable for babies.
The Class I standard specifies very low limit values for, among other things:
• Formaldehyde (can cause allergies)
• Heavy metals (can cause eczema and damage internal organs and the central nervous system)
• Pesticides (can affect the nervous system, internal organs and fertility)
• Aromatic hydrocarbons (perfume allergies and disorders of the nervous system)

| Downafresh |
|
Downafresh is your guarantee of a clean, high-quality product that has been made in accordance with the strictest washing requirements in Europe. This means that the raw feathers are washed until they satisfy hygiene requirements and dried at more than 100°C.
This guarantees the removal of: H5N1 strain (bird flu), keratin (scales from down and feathers), bacteria and mould, soap residues, as well as other organic residues. |

| NOMITE |
|
The NOMITE mark is the consumer’s guarantee that the down product cannot harbour house dust mites. The case is woven so tightly that neither house dust mites themselves nor their food, flakes of human skin, can penetrate it.
Contrary to all the myths, down and feathers do not cause allergic reactions. The culprit is usually the house dust mite and there are several scientific studies documenting this. People who are allergic to house dust mites can therefore safely buy down products bearing the NOMITE mark. Down products are also washable at 60°C, which is hot enough to kill house dust mites.

| Down and feather - class 1 |
|
|
Did you know that down and feathers can be labelled in three classes under the EN 12934 standard?
Ringsted Dun only uses new down and feathers of the highest quality (Class I). The other two classes are for inferior qualities. If there is no information about “class”, the product in question might be Class III. Class III permits the use of MORE than 15% recycled down/feathers from used products that other people have slept in as well as other materials than down.
All our natural filling qualities meet the requirements of EN 12934 – Class I.
