📢 | Standard Update

**GB/T 17685-2026 "Down and Feather" Officially Released**

China's revised national standard, **GB/T 17685-2026 "Down and Feather,"** will take effect on **September 1, 2026**, introducing important updates to product classification, quality requirements, and labeling transparency.

🔍 Key Updates:
✔ Clear distinction between virgin and recycled down
✔ New chemical risk management requirements (AP/APnEO limits)
✔ Addition of dust content testing
✔ Stronger processing requirements for recycled down
✔ Enhanced labeling transparency, including material type and down content
✔ More flexible quality management through graded inspections

A key requirement is that **raw washed down and recovered down cannot be used directly as filling materials.** They must undergo complete fine-washing treatment and must not be mixed with virgin down.

Overall, GB/T 17685-2026 marks an important step toward greater standardization, transparency, and sustainability in the down industry. Companies that prepare early will be better positioned to meet evolving market and regulatory expectations.
