Why certification?
Demand for certified polyurethane foam is increasing notably due to consumer demand, which is relayed by bedding and furniture manufacturers.
Being able to offer certified foam for bedding or upholstered furniture gives foam suppliers the value-added edge in today’s highly competitive market by:
- Differentiating your products from substandard foams
- Reassuring customers about your foam
- Addressing topical consumer issues
- Demonstrating your commitment to environmental stewardship
CertiPUR is the standard that was developed specifically by the foam industry for the foam industry. Achieving the CertiPUR label is a guarantee for your customers that the foam you produce is state of the art.
What products can be certified?
CertiPUR covers a certain number of categories of foams. They all have to meet the same specification as highlighted in the CertiPUR technical paper:
HOW TO APPLY?
Please download the CertiPUR Technical Paper, which provides more information on the procedure to apply for the CertiPUR label and lists substances that are prohibited or restricted under CertiPUR.
IN A NUTSHELL:
1
They will direct you to a laboratory to have a foam sample from the foam families for which you apply for the CertiPUR label tested.
2
If the foam samples pass the test successfully you will qualify to receive a CertiPUR label for three years.
3
Every year after that, new foam samples will be tested to verify that the foam you produce still fulfils the criteria of CertiPUR. Should this not be the case, EUROPUR reserves the right to cancel your label.

PRODUCERS OF BEDDING AND FURNITURE
You produce good quality products and you want consumers to know it. Why not add value and confidence to your product by requiring foam that is certified from your supplier. Adding CertiPUR to your specifications can help you.
Consumers rightly want to know what is (and what is not) inside their bedding. Whether you display the CertiPUR logo on your products or not, using certified foam ensures you can address consumers’ questions about prohibited or restricted substances with confidence, because your supplier’s CertiPUR label and test results provides you with the evidence of what the foam does or does not contain.
The specifications of the CertiPUR standard as regards prohibited or restricted substances can be viewed in our Technical Paper.
