Compliance

An EU-focused compliance process, built product by product.

We do not claim that every Mahran product is already certified. Compliance requirements are assessed according to the product, materials and intended use, then documented.

REACH

Substance-related requirements assessed with our material suppliers.

EN 1021-1 / EN 1021-2

Ignitability of upholstered composites assessed where applicable to the product and use.

Material documentation

Declarations and records for timber, textiles, foam and coatings.

Inspection

In-line and pre-shipment inspection against the approved specification.

Technical documentation

Drawings, construction details and product technical files.

Batch traceability

Batch and production records retained per manufactured series.

Product identification

Labelling and identifiers applied to manufactured items.

Request compliance documentation

Tell us the product family and intended use, and our technical team will confirm which documentation applies to your project.

EU compliance guide for contract furniture

REACH and SVHC declarations

REACH is the EU regulation on chemicals. For furniture, buyers usually ask for an SVHC declaration confirming whether any Substance of Very High Concern on the EU Candidate List is present in an article above 0.1% by weight.

Mahran assesses substance related requirements with its material suppliers for timber, textiles, foam and coatings, and keeps the declarations and records in the project file.

Formaldehyde emissions (EN 717) for engineered wood

EN 717 is the European test method family for measuring formaldehyde released by wood based panels such as MDF, particleboard and plywood. It is the reference used for emission classes of engineered wood.

Where a product uses engineered wood, Mahran assesses the requirement according to the panels, the product and its intended use, and documents it with the material records for that project.

Upholstery flammability (EN 1021-1 and EN 1021-2)

EN 1021-1 assesses the ignitability of upholstered composites with a smouldering cigarette. EN 1021-2 assesses them with a match flame equivalent. Contract buyers often specify both for seating.

Mahran assesses ignitability of upholstered composites where applicable to the product and use. We do not claim that every product is already certified.

EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) timber traceability

The EUDR requires that wood products placed on the EU market are deforestation free and traceable to where the timber was harvested, supported by due diligence information.

Mahran keeps material documentation for timber and batch and production records per manufactured series, which support traceability requests for a project.

Supporting documentation, including SVHC declarations, EN 717 emission test reports, EN 1021 flammability test reports and EUDR due-diligence records, can be provided on request for a given project or order.

Compliance FAQ

Compliance questions buyers ask

Does Mahran test every custom order?
Not automatically. Compliance requirements are assessed according to the product, its materials and its intended use, then documented. We do not claim that every Mahran product is already certified.
What is an SVHC Declaration of Compliance?
It is a written statement that an article does or does not contain Substances of Very High Concern from the EU REACH Candidate List above 0.1% by weight. Mahran assesses these substance requirements with its material suppliers.
Which fire standards apply to upholstered contract seating?
EN 1021-1 (cigarette) and EN 1021-2 (match flame equivalent) are the usual European references for upholstered composites. Mahran assesses them where applicable to the product and use.
How do I request compliance documentation for my project?
Send the product family and intended use through the form on this page. Our technical team confirms which documentation applies to your project.
Which supporting documents can be provided on request?
Supporting documentation, including SVHC declarations, EN 717 emission test reports, EN 1021 flammability test reports and EUDR due-diligence records, can be provided on request for a given project or order.
