The asthma & allergy friendly™ Certification  testing subjects pillow encasings and pillow protectors to both physical and chemical testing to ensure that they do not have properties that are likely to irritate both asthma and allergy symptoms in susceptible people. All certified encasements and protectors must demonstrate the following characteristics:

• The encasing must provide an effective barrier to the passage of allergen including house dust mites and domestic animal dander
• Allergen accumulating on the outer surface of the encasing must be removable by laundering in a standard washing machine at the recommended temperature and frequency
• The encasing must have the ability to withstand the recommended care instructions at the indicated frequency for the duration of the manufacturer's warranty
• The fabric of the encasing must be 'breathable' in order to ensure user comfort
• The encasing must not contain chemicals known to trigger allergenic or irritant responses when present above Certification levels.
