Advanced testing equipment

Our test equipment include traditional testing machines, anthropomorphic robots and software programmes for test simulation on virtual prototypes. Thanks to our presence at the international standardization committee, where we contribute to the definition of testing methodologies, we are able to design and supply all the test equipment to ensure the safety, durability and strength of furniture (CATAS Engineering Service).

Tested products:

  • Tables and Cabinets
  • Office Desks and Cabinets 
  • Outdoor Tables 
  • School Tables and Blackboards 
  • Beds, Mattresses and Bunk Beds (San Giovanni al Natisone and Lissone labs)
  • Children’s cots, Cribs, Cradles and Changing units
