THE RIGATEST

PROCEDURE

FOUNDATION: The products are tested to established British standards of endurance contract level 2, and also BIFMA which is the American furniture standard.

ADDITIONAL UNIQUE TESTS: In addition to this they are also subjected to additional tests derived from the challenges of the hospitality trade. If the product passes, the product is RIGATEST certified and deemed fit for purpose for the Hospitality public sector.

QUALITY

IN PRODUCTION

We are all aware that a single sample doesn’t necessarily result in quality in production. To ensure a RIGATEST quality assured product is delivered, a series of dimensional, build and strength batch tests are provided to be applied either at source production or on receipt of goods.

For every product produced a RIGATEST label – these are electronic with a URN and issue date is provided. Any product in the market bearing the RIGATEST label can be identified on the RIGATEST website to clarify authenticity and supplier information. FSC sourced timber is used for manufacturing.
