Certification consists of three stages:
1. Regulatory Compliance
First and foremost, the component must meet the relevant regulatory requirements (REACH, DGSP), mainly focusing on safety and health rules.
A certified component must be in compliance with current regulations.
2. Technical Compliance
The component must conform to the technical requirements of the CTB Composants d'ameublement reference system. These requirements are demonstrated through tests carried out at FCBA or with ISO 17025 accredited laboratories.
A certified component complies with a technical reference and has undergone testing.
3. Production Compliance
It is essential to ensure that the company has a reliable process and can consistently reproduce a product of the same quality through quality management rules. FCBA conducts an audit of the company's quality system (unless it is already ISO 9001 certified).
A certified product is manufactured according to a rigorous and qualitative process.
