We are pleased to announce that Quaser Certificazioni S.r.l, the Italian subsidiary of the AFNOR Group, has recently obtained a new accreditation from ACCREDIA on the FEMB(Fédération Européenne du Mobilier de Bureau) sustainability scheme for office furniture. This is a private German certification system. Certification is based on the sustainability standard FEMB.
The FEMB system aims to promote sustainable production and consumption in the office furniture industry. It sets rigorous criteria for manufacturers, guaranteeing that their products are produced in an environmentally-friendly way, using sustainable materials and processes. It is therefore the first European certification to encompass all relevant aspects of sustainability for office and non-domestic furniture.

Only four certification bodies in the world have taken these steps and are therefore authorized to issue the Leve certificate, including our Italian subsidiary Quaser Certificazioni S.r.l.
