Strength & Stability Testing 

 

We carry out comprehensive testing on the majority of our furniture to ensure their strength, stability and durability. We test the majority of our seating through the European Standard EN testing as well as the American National Standard ANSI/BIFMA testing.

 

During the testing, loads, forces and velocities are applied to the chairs, stimulating the normal functional use as well as misuse that might be expected to occur.

 

Using the EN testing as an example, the majority of our furniture is tested to EN Level L2, meaning that it fulfills the requirements for extreme use.

 

 

 

 

Certified Wood

 

Through collaboration between our design and product development team and our production partners we strive to source the best raw materials available. 

 

We only use wood from controlled sources, ensuring that all our wooden products comply with the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR), which ensures the legal sourcing of wood. 

 

In addition, Normann Copenhagen is FSC™ certified (FSC-C163461). FSC (Forest Stewardship Council™) is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests through timber certification. We aim to have 50% of our wooden furniture to carry the FSC label by the end of 2026.
