AFRDI Certified Products

By purchasing furniture items tested by us you can be sure that:

  • Products are fit-for-purpose;
  • You have bought a quality product; and
  • You are contributing towards meeting duty of care requirements by specifying certified product (after testing, manufacturers guarantee to maintain original quality for typically 3 years).

Accelerated mechanical ageing is at the heart of our testing towards certification.

More and more private and government agencies will only admit suppliers of certified furniture to tendering. We can also advise on prototype development.
