Certified management system

Our quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001, the environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001, and the energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001 are regularly audited and certified by TÜV Rheinland / LGA InterCert. ISO 9001 defines the requirements for a quality management system in order to meet customer requirements as well as additional requirements for product quality. The seal stands for well-thought-out work processes that are specifically optimized for the development and manufacture of kitchens and their distribution. ISO 14001 for environmental management systems serves to improve a company’s environmental performance. With the ISO 50001 energy management standard, companies can continuously improve their energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

GS mark Certified Safety

This certificate is awarded by LGA Nuremberg. LGA is part of the TÜV Rheinland Group and is Europe’s largest and most important furniture testing body. The GS mark for tested safety is a voluntary safety label that is significant far beyond Germany’s borders. In the field of consumer and occupational safety, it guarantees that the safety requirements are met and are tested and regularly monitored by an independent body such as LGA. LGA product certificates for furniture, furniture components, components, and accessories are a distinguishing feature for tested and monitored quality and product safety.

RKT recycling certificate

In Germany, nobilia participates in the take-back and utilization system of the company RKT – Recycling Kontor Transportverpackungen. This ensures that the packaging is collected, recorded, and recycled in accordance with the Packaging Act.

Deutschland Test product quality

Sustainability is a top priority at nobilia. This also applies to greenhouse gas emissions. Here, it is especially important to join other manufacturers in accepting the responsibility that today’s generations bear toward their descendants and the environment. In 2016, DGM launched the “Climate Pact for the Furniture Industry,” and nobilia is a permanent member. In order for the CO2 footprint to be gradually reduced and ideally neutralized, it is important to nobilia to take on a pioneering role, make this topic public, and raise awareness among the public.

DGM emission class

nobilia kitchen furniture has been awarded the highest emission class A in accordance with the award criteria for the emissions label of the Deutsche Gütegemeinschaft Möbel e.V. The RAL emissions label informs consumers about pollutant emissions and protects them from health impairments.

"Furniture made in Germany"

Since August 1, 2020, end consumers have found a new label in stores that provides information about furniture quality: the geographical indication of origin under RAL-RG 0191 “Furniture Made in Germany” identifies furniture from Germany that meets the demonstrably strictly defined criteria. To qualify, it must be proven that the construction, assembly, and quality inspection of the furniture take place in Germany. With the "Made in Germany" label as well, nobilia is once again among the first kitchen furniture manufacturers to be awarded the new label.

PEFC / 04-31-1281

Since July 2009, nobilia has been the first kitchen manufacturer to be certified according to PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes). In doing so, nobilia documents its commitment to a livable environment and responsibility in handling the valuable raw material wood. This is because the wood-based materials used come from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources. Forest certification guarantees that the wood products you buy are not of questionable origin or the result of exploitation, but come from forests managed close to nature.

By purchasing a PEFC-certified nobilia kitchen, the buyer demonstrates a sense of responsibility for our environment.

TSCA Title VI compliant / CARB2

For the production of kitchen furniture, nobilia uses only wood-based materials that comply with the strict U.S. EPA formaldehyde emission standard of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA Title VI). In doing so, the company complies with the American requirements that have been in effect since June 1, 2018 for the further reduction of formaldehyde emissions from wood-based materials. The limit values from TSCA Title VI correspond to those of the Californian CARB2 (California Air Resources Board) standard. The furniture is labeled with the information “TSCA Title VI compliant.”

Blue Angel

In July 2012, the company became the first kitchen furniture manufacturer to be awarded the environmental label “Blue Angel.” This label from the Federal Environment Ministry promotes the concerns of environmental, health, and consumer protection alike. Products and services are awarded that are particularly environmentally friendly from a holistic perspective and at the same time meet high standards for occupational and health protection as well as usability. “Blue Angel” was awarded for the following programs: 253, 312, 317, 351, 371, 382, 406, 526, 545, 555, 566, 615, 648, 706, 808, 917, 977 and 985.

DGM Climate Pact

All mail and parcel shipping is handled via the CO2-neutral GOGREEN services of Deutsche Post and DHL. In this way, nobilia offsets the CO2 emissions generated by transport. The offset is certified according to ISO 14064 by an independent certification company (Société Générale de Surveillance, SGS).
