The CertiPUR-US foam certification program has added a fourth approved laboratory to its list of accredited testing facilities. This is a significant development for the program, which aims to provide consumers with safe and high-quality foam products.
What is the CertiPUR-US program?
The CertiPUR-US program is a voluntary foam certification program established in 2008. It was created to provide consumers with confidence in the safety and quality of foam products, such as mattresses, pillows, and upholstered furniture. The program sets strict standards for foam products, including requirements for durability, content, and emissions.
What does it mean to be a CertiPUR-US approved laboratory?
To become a CertiPUR-US approved laboratory, a testing facility must meet specific requirements. These requirements include having the necessary equipment and expertise to conduct tests on foam products and maintaining a high level of quality control.
Why is adding a fourth approved laboratory significant?
Adding a fourth approved laboratory to the CertiPUR-US program is significant because it expands the program’s testing capacity. With more approved laboratories, the program can test more foam products. This is an important addition that will provide consumers with even greater confidence in the safety and quality of these products.
