There is a growing demand for \u201ccertified products\u201d<\/strong>, documents based on objective and reliable evidence which state that what a manufacturer declares about the performance, the materials and safety, is true. A request that grows strongly among consumers<\/strong>, more and more aware of the need of clarity regarding the real values \u200b\u200bof the goods they are buying, in terms of quality, safety, \u201chealth\u201d (for example the formaldehyde emissions) and even from a sustainability point of view.
\nAs regards product certifications, there is an increasing attention among the furniture producers<\/strong> too, who have well understood how a product with characteristics and quality certified by an independent and recognized third party body is more \u201cattractive\u201d and even allows to increase competitiveness and the market appreciation for its brand. In addition the product certification is considered by the companies an effective and valuable tool for monitoring the whole production processes.
\nNot to mention that the product certifications<\/strong> are increasingly considered relevant in the control processes of some global great retailers operating in the furniture sector, which use them as a qualification tool for the suppliers selection.<\/p>\n

For over twenty-five years, Catas <\/strong>has been issuing product certifications on the basis of international standards and specific procedures and rules ad-hoc<\/em> developed to evaluate and check over time the conformity of many products, from low formaldehyde emission panels to coating systems, for indoor and outdoor use, from glulam beams for windows up to furniture products.
\nNot only that: Catas not only deals with certification, but also, and above all, with monitoring \u2013 through inspections and laboratory tests \u2013 that the characteristics that led to the \u201capproval\u201d of a product are kept constant.
\nAn increasingly important activity for the Italian laboratory, in view of the growing recognition of the leading competence and objectivity<\/strong> of its procedures, an evaluation that often makes it prefer to other organizations just because of the accuracy and international reliability that characterized the reputation of the Institute.
\n\u00adRecently two new certification schemes have been developed and activated in order to mark as \u201cCQA – Catas Quality Award\u201d<\/strong>, the surfaces for playground<\/strong> and the coatings for healthcare and medical practices furniture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMADE IN ITALY\u201d BY CATAS<\/h4>\n

There is a specific topic in this sector that is worth underlining: we are referring to the \u201cItalian origin of furniture\u201d certification<\/strong>, a certification scheme that for a couple of years, from the entry into force of the related reference standard, makes the definition \u201cMade in Italy\u201d something more than a slogan, as it defines the criteria to allow a sofa, a wardrobe or a chair to give evidence not only to be \u201cborn in Italy\u201d, but also to meet a set of requirements that certify its quality and performance.A certification that is having growing deployment especially in the sectors of office furniture<\/strong>, kitchens<\/strong> and \u00df<\/strong> and which is based on some fundamental pillars. First of all, the national standard UNI 11674, which prescribes both the process and product requirements, making \u2013 in fact \u2013 objective and verifiable the origin and the \u201cItalian qualities\u201d. In addition rigorous technical rules have been implemented, by including on-site inspections, in order to verify if the significant production phases are actually made in Italy, and laboratory tests in order to assess the technical performances of the finished product.<\/p>\n

\u201cA certification that is of great interest in the world \u2013 Franco Bulian<\/strong>, Catas managing director commented \u2013 as finally talking about an Italian product as a synonym of beauty and quality is no longer just a topic of conversation, but something defined, proved, certificated.<\/em>We are facing with a new absolutely strategic tool to further increase the success of \u201cmade in Italy\u201d in the world, a heritage of great value on which to work always with the utmost seriousness and rigor so that it is always an absolute, objective and indisputable value\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
