NF OFFICE EXCELLENCE CERTIFIE
The NF Office Excellence Certified certification was born from the desire of office furniture manufacturers to commit to a corporate responsibility approach that goes beyond product quality alone.
Furniture certified under NF OEC guarantees that the manufacturing companies have added an environmental and societal dimension to the technical excellence of their products, placing a strong emphasis on people.
NF Office Excellence Certified is the only office furniture certification in France awarded by an independent organization. It is only granted when the manufacturer's commitment is quantifiable and measurable. Therefore, its criteria can assist buyers in drafting tender documents and performance indicators.

The NF Office Excellence Certified certification is based on criteria that align with societal changes and new corporate governance practices.
As key players in this major change, office furniture manufacturers are convinced of the need to consider all stakeholders in the company, both internal and external. Users, clients, suppliers, employees, neighbors, local communities, and more constitute a complex network of interactions at local and global levels. This is the focus of a genuine progress initiative, with a major goal: to better respect human beings.
The demanding NF Office Excellence Certified certification incorporates all prerequisites regarding safety, compliance with regulations and European standards, quality, and product performance in use.
In this regard, it includes the criteria of the former "NF Office Furniture Safety Ergonomics" certification, recognized by both public and private buyers for over 20 years. In addition, it integrates the criteria of the NF Environment Furniture certification, adding societal requirements.

With the NF OEC certification, is it responsible or sustainable procurement?
While "sustainability" often focuses strictly on environmental aspects, "responsible" procurement introduces the societal dimension of purchasing. Furniture manufacturers are now actively engaged in both environmental and human aspects. They are committed to a dual environmental and human approach that the NF OEC certification guarantees.
