Underlining the longevity
Respect for nature and its materials is at the heart of our company hence it is of great importance
to us to produce high-quality products.
We grant our customers a 5-year warranty on manufacturing defects on construction and
materials apart from wear and self-inflicted damage. To underline the longevity of our designs,
we work on increasing the warranty period up to 25 years on selected products by 2025.
Several of our products are tested at the Danish Technical Institute or the German Tüv institute
to ensure high quality.
Product tests executed by the above stated are done to ensure the user’s safety of a given
product. Both institutes measure in relation to international standards. Products can be tested
for durability, strength, and/or fire.
In 2022, we introduced the testing method ANSI/Bifma X5.4-2020, an American National
Standard For Office Furnishings - Public and Lounge Seating. It evaluates the safety, durability
and structural adequacy of business and institutional lounges and public seating. A selected
number of products will be tested based on this standard.
Environmental product certifications
Currently, there are no comprehensive benchmarks for measuring a company’s environmental
impact or even individual products, hence we use multiple third-party certifications to illustrate
and underline our commitment to being a sustainable company.
In the early stages of a product, we challenge ourselves to make more sustainable choices,
including using raw materials from sustainable resources and making choices that fulfil the high
standards of third-party product certi
fications. For now, Fredericia has chosen to use the following
material and product certifications:
