Stand out in the furniture industry with the Intertek High-Performance Mark. Strengthen your functional claims and gain consumer trust with verification from the world- leading quality assurance organization.

Furniture such as chairs and tables are designed for long-term use and are expected to meet high standards for strength, stability, and durability. Durable furniture plays a crucial role in sustainability by reducing the need for frequent replacement, which in turn lowers resource consumption. Studies show that over 70% of consumers are willing to pay a premium price for environmentally friendly furniture, highlighting the growing demand for products that prioritize sustainable practices and durable designs.

Strengthen Your Functional Claims with the HP Mark

At Intertek, our High-Performance Mark (HP Mark) program is designed to help you demonstrate the quality and performance of your products. We rigorously test and verify the functional properties of your furniture, ensuring they meet the industry-recognised standards set forth by Intertek. By earning the HP Mark, you can confidently signal to consumers that the performance claims of your products are verified.

The HP Mark can be displayed on product tags, brochures, packaging, websites, and in both online and offline stores across multiple channels. This Mark of Trust enhances your brand's credibility and reassures customers that your products live up to their promises.
