IDFL Down Standard (IDS) Certification
is granted by the International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory, the largest down and feather testing lab in the world. Certification assures customers that they are purchasing from a company that ethically sources all their down and feather products. IDS certifications endorse companies that prioritize animal welfare, human welfare, corporate responsibility and traceability. Products approved by the IDFL are guaranteed to be treated ethically throughout the entirety of the production process.
IDS enforces a fixed set of requirements for each step in the supply chain: general operations, traceability, social responsibility, chemical compliance, environmental sustainability and animal welfare. IDFL has specific tests for textiles, synthetic fills, natural fills and feathers. To become fully IDS certified, a company must adhere to regular on-site visits and documentation reviews by IDFL staff. Upon completion of the audit, corrective actions are issued to the organization, which must be completed within a specified timeframe before receiving certification. IDFL offers numerous certifications, including the DOWNPASS Standard, Global Recycled Standard, Organic Content Standard and more.
