Möbelfakta as a certification
Möbelfakta shows that your products meet the requirements for public procurement. You receive a third-party verified declaration that brings together requirements for quality, the environment and social responsibility in one system.
Product development
With Möbelfakta's requirements specification, you have control over what applies – from durability to chemicals and supply chains. This provides security in development and reduces the risk of rejection.
Recognised certifications – a common way forward
The entire industry contributes to driving the development towards sustainable furniture. With Möbelfakta, you can utilise established certifications such as FSC, Oeko-Tex and other systems that meet our requirements. By using already certified materials and components, you as a manufacturer gain an effective path to verification.
With Möbelfakta READY, your suppliers can also quality assure their materials against Möbelfakta's requirements. This gives you a strong basis for your product certification – and makes the work easier for everyone in the chain.

How to do it - step by step
Certifying your products with Möbelfakta is a clear way to show that they meet high standards for quality, the environment and social responsibility. Here we guide you through the process – step by step.
Möbelfakta is a broader sustainability label compared to many other labels. Start by familiarizing yourself with Möbelfakta's three requirement areas.
- Quality – according to current standards and requirements for furniture.
- Environment – requirements for materials, chemical content and environmental impact.
- Responsible supply chains – requirements for responsibility in the supply chain (according to the principles of the UN Global Compact).
Apply to Möbelfakta on our website. Once we have received your application, we will contact you with further instructions.
For each product to be Möbelfakta-labeled, you need to collect all documentation that shows that the requirements are met. Examples of documents:
- Test report from accredited testing according to applicable furniture standards
- Subcontractor certificate
- Safety data sheet
- Policy documents and due diligence processes for social responsibility
We offer training and have guidelines and templates to help you produce the right documentation.
Before you can label your products with Möbelfakta, the documentation must be reviewed by an independent auditor.
The review process is divided into the following two steps:
- Step 1: Follow-up of compliance with requirements for Part 1 (Quality requirements) and Part 2 (Environmental requirements)
- Step 2: Follow-up of compliance with requirements for Part 3 Responsible supply chains - this step includes on-site visits.
