Introduction

Interpretation of GB/T 12705.1—2024, the National Standard of the People's Republic of China

1. Background of the Standard Revision

This standard is a comprehensive revision of GB/T 12705.1—2009, mainly testing the anti-down drilling performance of textiles and their products during friction. The revisions include:

  • Scope adjustment: New regulations on direct sampling and testing of down and feather products.
  • Equipment parameter optimization: The speed of the testing machine is accurate to 135±1 r/min, and the adjustable range of the fixture spacing is expanded to 5mm~60mm.
  • Filling requirements are improved: It is clarified that the down content of down and feather fillings shall not be less than 70%, and a new thickness tester is added for sample evaluation.

2. Comparison of standard frameworks

Scope of application Applicable only to fabric samples Added direct testing of down and feather products
Testing machine speed Specific value is not specified Accurate to 135±1 r/min
Filling requirements Down content is not specified Down content is not less than 70%

3. Recommendations for standard implementation

Equipment selection recommendations:

  • Preferably use a friction tester that complies with Clause 5.1 to ensure that the speed and fixture spacing adjustment range meet the requirements.
  • When equipping a thickness tester, it is recommended to select an instrument with a range covering the maximum thickness of the sample (about 20cm).

Key points for sample preparation:

  • The sample bag for down and feather products should ensure the integrity of the original stitching structure to avoid destroying the uniformity of the filling.
  • The 4N procedure of GB/T8629-2017 is recommended for the washing procedure to ensure the consistency of the test results.

Data Recording and Analysis:

  • It is recommended to use professional data analysis software for result statistics, supporting the GB/T8170 numerical rounding rules.
  • If the number of down feathers exceeds 50, mark and stop counting in time to ensure data reliability.
