QUALITY & TESTING

Furniture Quality and Testing

Model information, inspection details and a clear document scope for confident procurement.

A SPECIFIC BASIS FOR EVALUATION

Quality Evidence for Your Furniture

Furniture quality connects component dimensions, upholstery finish and product performance. Our model information identifies safety and quality approvals for specific products; the relevant documents should match the configuration being evaluated.

ISO 9001

ISO 9001 concerns quality management systems. For procurement, check the certified organisation, site, scope, standard edition and validity period on the current certificate.

BIFMA Standards

ANSI/BIFMA standards provide a basis for evaluating furniture safety, durability and structural performance. Use the test report’s stated standard, edition and tested configuration to check coverage.

FROM COMPONENT TO FINISH

Review the Details That Affect the Product

Dimensional inspection of a metal furniture component using measuring equipment.

Component Dimensions

Dimensions and formed shapes affect how parts fit together. Establish the required geometry and inspection criteria against the approved drawing and sample.

Upholstery & Finish

Review the cover material, cushion profile, seam placement and finished edges together. Appearance and construction requirements belong in the sample review, alongside functional details.

MODEL-SPECIFIC QUALITY

Match the Documents to the Model

Use the exact configuration as the basis for the review. These series illustrate different seating functions; ask which quality-management documents and performance test reports are relevant to your selection.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Quality Documentation

Questions to resolve when reviewing a model, sample or purchasing specification.

Which documents should I request for my project?

Identify the model, configuration and destination market. Request the specification, current quality-management certificate and relevant product test reports. Check the issuing body, report number, standard edition, tested parts, result and document validity. This makes the review specific to the product you intend to order.

Does ISO 9001 describe the same evidence as a furniture test report?

ISO 9001 concerns the organisation’s quality management system. A product test report records the evaluation of a specified product or configuration against the stated test requirements. Review each document according to its scope: the management certificate and product report answer different procurement questions.

What if I change materials or components?

Identify changes to the cover material, mechanism, base, arms or other components before relying on an existing report. Ask OASYS to confirm the applicable document scope for the revised configuration and any further review required. Keep the approved specification and document references together.

How should a buyer review a sample?

Use the agreed specification to review dimensions, materials, adjustment functions, connections and finish. Record the accepted configuration and any required changes. Confirm which test documents and approvals apply before moving from sample evaluation to the production order.
