External Consultation

Möbelfakta's environmental requirements have been revised to continue ensuring they meet the demands set in national public procurement.

Möbelfakta hereby invites everyone involved in or affected by public furniture procurement to provide feedback on the proposed environmental requirements. Your input is important to ensure that the criteria are useful and relevant.

The proposal has been developed through Möbelfakta’s criteria council and its working groups, as well as discussions with furniture producers and suppliers in the industry. The proposal concerns the following changes and additions in the following sections:

-Clarification
2.2.4 Product Information

The company must be able to present a comprehensive documentation that proves that the criteria in Möbelfakta's requirements are followed. Full transparency is expected from the company regarding how the content of the requirements specification is complied with. Compliance checks are performed at both companies and their suppliers. In the event that a company or its supplier violates the requirements, corrective measures must be taken.

A corrective action involves a furniture manufacturer ensuring that their own company or supplier promptly rectifies the deviation.
