Harmful substances causing unpleasant odors, pollutant emissions or environmental damage can adversely affect the well-being of your customers. Certifying your products with our test marks for harmful substances enables you to express your high quality standards, prove independent oversight, and provide your customers reliable help in their purchasing decision.

Pollutant testing is performed according to the requirements for each product type. Our experts are well versed in the exact standards and prerequisites associated with every piece of furniture to ensure your product free of any impermissible pollutants.

You can have your furniture certified with our "TÜV Rheinland Schadstoffgeprüft" (tested for harmful substances) and "LGA Schadstoffgeprüft" test marks to close the gap between the few legal requirements and high consumer expectations.

Mattresses and polyurethane foams can also be certified with our "TÜV Rheinland Schadstoffgeprüft" (tested for harmful substances) test mark. Our emission testing measures harmful substances in flexible foams and the pollutant products evolving from them. The tests prove your product is certified at minimal emissions of carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxic substances as well as total volatile organic compounds (TVOC).

Yes. Our "LGA tested Quality" and "TÜV Bauart geprüft"(type approved) test marks are awarded pursuant to the quality of finished products and the parts, materials and components which are used. Pre-tested, certified furniture components are an important part of quality assurance and are helpful in providing evidence of compliance with higher quality and product safety requirements for the GS mark and our Q mark.

By certifying your furniture with our test marks, you document that your products meet the high requirements for quality and product safety.
