Testing & Certifications

Testing & Certifications

Each certification we hold is a mark of assurance — confirming that our products, processes, and people meet trusted national and international standards.

Our Approach to Quality Assurance

With Sebel you get a lot more than the chairs or table you actually receive. It’s because of the research, development and rigorous testing we employ across every Sebel product before it is released into the market. We are so serious that we have our very own independent NATA certified testing facility. It is only by the use of this testing equipment to stress-test all furniture components, that we can be absolutely confident that what we make and sell meet all domestic and international standards for strength and durability, giving the long-term service to which all our customers are entitled. You can be sure that all of our products are tried and tested to survive the toughest of environments.


Certifications and Compliance

Australia sets some of the highest manufacturing standards in the world. Our fully accredited testing laboratory conducts exhaustive trials to ensure that Sebel products meet all domestic and international standards for strength and durability.
We are the only furniture manufacturer in Australia with an independent NATA-certified testing facility and we exceed the Australian standards. You can be sure that all Sebel product prototypes are tried and tested to survive in the toughest of environments.
