Criteria

Möbelfakta's criteria advice

Möbelfakta's board is responsible for the content of Möbelfakta. The Criteria Council develops the criteria in accordance with the standard ISO 14024, which means that the products meet environmental requirements determined by an independent third party, that the requirements are continuously tightened and that they are developed from a life cycle perspective.

Current Specification

The company must be able to present a comprehensive documentation that proves that the criteria in Möbelfakta's requirements are followed. Full transparency is expected from the company regarding how the content of the requirements specification is complied with. Compliance checks are performed at both companies and their suppliers. In the event that a company or its supplier violates the requirements, corrective measures must be taken.

A corrective action involves a furniture manufacturer ensuring that their own company or supplier promptly rectifies the deviation.
