Criteria

Möbelfakta is an independent certification showing that furniture complies with strict requirements on quality, environment, and responsible supply chains. The label is a guarantee that the product is safe, durable, and manufactured with care – for both people and the environment.

What is Möbelfakta-certified furniture?

Möbelfakta is a certification that shows a piece of furniture meets requirements for quality, environment, and responsible supply chains – all the way from material selection to manufacturing.

Tested for safety and long durability
Free from hazardous substances
Manufactured under fair working conditions

Which furniture can be labelled?

Furniture in the following categories can be labelled with Möbelfakta:

Tables
Seating furniture
Seating furniture for children
Storage furniture / Kitchen / Bathroom
Screens
Beds / Mattresses
Bunk beds / High beds
High chairs for children
Acoustic absorbers
Writing boards
Mobile room units

For these categories, harmonised standards are available to evaluate and set requirements for furniture in terms of safety and function. As new standards are developed, the opportunity to declare additional types of products will be expanded.

User environments affect the requirements

Möbelfakta’s requirements are adapted to where the furniture will be used. A piece of furniture for the home has different requirements than one for a school, office, or outdoor use. This ensures that the certification is always based on real conditions – and that you can trust the product to perform in its intended environment.

Home environment incl. kitchen & bathroom interiors
Public environment incl. kitchen & bathroom interiors

What is required to certify a piece of furniture?

In addition to meeting the requirements for quality, environment, and responsible supply chains, the producer must provide:

Material specification: what materials are included
Supplier information: who has supplied the materials
Manufacturing site: where the furniture has been produced
