Testing laboratory
We have a modern, well-equipped research laboratory, accredited by the Polish Center for Accreditation (PCA). We operate in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2018. We encourage you to check our capabilities.
The growing competition in the furniture market means that manufacturers must constantly improve the quality and safety of their products. We offer you the issuance of a certificate, which more and more often becomes an "admission ticket" entitling you to enter European markets with sales.
According to Polish law, educational institutions are obliged to purchase certified furniture. Companies that consider the production of furniture for school and kindergarten needs should therefore take these requirements into account.
We encourage you to certify furniture mainly due to the elimination of possible non-conformities in design and production. We know from experience that a large part of the furniture requires improvement in order to meet safety standards. Thanks to the certification, you will also minimize the risk of complaints.
We certity furniture like:
- educational furniture (desks, chairs, blackboards, etc.)
- kindergarten furniture (dressing room cabinets, benches, tables, etc.).
- nursery furniture (cribs, changing tables, etc.)
- office furniture (desks, chairs, cabinets, etc.)
- home furniture (sofas, beds, wardrobes, etc.)
- factory furniture (working tables, cloakroom cabinets, etc.)
- recreational furniture (sunbeds, park benches, etc.)
- laboratory furniture
Furniture certification is a quality guarantee and an advantage on the market which is exceptionally saturated. Certificate is above all the confirmation of product safety, that is the priority for majority of users. What is more, in some cases it is required for the product. School furniture must be certified. Certificate can be given by any unit/company, but it is worth to chose accredited certification body, that works in compliance with requirements, which confirms reliable services realisation. Certification process starts with client' order and it can concern any furniture type. Our certification body has equipment and knowlegde to conduct verification of different products on their compliance with safety requirements.
School furniture certification
Every educational establishment is responsible for tens, hundreds or even thousands of students. This is why it should be equipped with safe products. According to the law requirements, schools can only buy certified furnitures (more information regarding this topic - here- CZY DAJEMY LINKI DO BAZY WIEDZY?). Certification is the chance for manufacturer to enter on the new markets and to increase sales. School furniture certification for the compliance with European standards allows also to gain clients from abroad. It is the best and simplest way to confirm its compliance with safety and quality standards.
How to obtain the certificate?
The main responsibility of an educational institution is to check whether bought equipment have necessary certificates.
How to get the certificate? You should contact an accredited certification body. Procedure for other furniture types looks exactly the same. We ecourage you to check the safety of your products, regardless of the type of furniture you produce. Tests are conducted, among others, to eliminate the potential incorrectnesses in project or production, to minimise the risk of complaints and to increase the customer satisfaction.
We invite to cooperate with our company. We help with obtaining not only the certificate for school furniture, but also for kindergarten, office, laboratory, domestic, recreational (including intended for outdoor use) furniture types. We verify safety of equipment elements according to the Polish and European standards. To get more information, please contact us directly!
