At DeFrae we work with contract furniture factories across Europe who prove their products are strong and robust for hospitality and offices by having their products CATAS tested.
CATAS stands for the Centro Attività Tecnologiche Arredo Sostenibilità (Center for Technological Activities, Furniture, and Sustainability). It is a renowned Italian research and testing laboratory that specializes in furniture and related industries. CATAS carries out a range of tests and certifications to evaluate the quality, safety, and durability of furniture, components, and materials. Their assessments encompass mechanical resistance, durability, stability, flammability, and ergonomics. CATAS certifications are internationally recognized and serve as a hallmark of excellence in the furniture industry.
