A commitment to quality and sustainability

At Furnware, we take pride in our commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and safety. Our products are designed to meet the highest standards, and our numerous accreditations and certifications reflect our dedication to sustainable and responsible manufacturing.

AFRDI Certification

 

Our Bodyfurn® products are rigorously tested by AFRDI (Australasian Furnishing Research and Development Institute) to ensure they meet Australian and New Zealand standards. AFRDI’s quality certification ensures that our furniture meets the highest standards in durability, safety, strength, and sustainability, contributing to longer-lasting products and reduced environmental impact. We've been awarded the AFRDI Blue Tick, Rated Load and Green Tick across the Bodyfurn and Bodyfurn Flex Range.

  

Furnware holds three AFRDI certifications across a number of products in the range. 

 

  • AFRDI Blue Tick - signifies that the product has withstood rigorous strength, durability, safety and stability requirements as a minimum (and sometimes includes ergonomics and ignitability requirements) and is a mark of an excellent quality product.
     

  • AFRDI Green Tick certifies supplier’s products meet our expectations for the ethical sourcing of materials free from harmful levels of toxic chemicals, and feature sustainable design, which minimises waste and encourages the responsible use of water and energy in their manufacture
     

  • AFRDI Blue Tick Rated Load certification takes the top level of our AFRDI Blue Tick scheme for chairs (Level 6), and adjusts it to be suitable for much heavier users (e.g. 135kg, 160kg, and 185kg) and for bunks to 135kg.

 

The award-winning design of the Bodyfurn® chair has been awarded Eco Choice Aotearoa certification.

Awarded by an impartial third party, an  AFRDI tick is given to products that meet established Australian and New Zealand standards.

We love to lead the way in our innovative approach to product design and manufacturing so we’re extremely proud to be a part of this network.
