Quality Certification

Our products are made in Austria and are put through regular and rigorous testing by many independent institutions in Europe.

In these tests, all materials and products are subject to rugged treatment and precise analysis. As a result, we strive to ensure and certify that our products and craftsmanship are of the highest standard and to provide you with comprehensive evidence of this. Our products have been tested by the following institutions:
Österreichische Arbeitsgemeinschaft zur Förderung der Qualität
(Austrian Working Group for Promoting Quality)
The Austria seal of quality provides consumers with the certainty that they have received a product or a service certified to the highest standards. This award is presented by The Austrian Working Group to Support Quality (OQA), and is awarded to quality products and services originating in Austria. This certification provides our customers with the certainty that they have purchased top quality products and represents a symbol of Austrian identity. (Source: OQA - Quality Austria)

TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH
TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH (Technical Control Board) tests our products for quality, long-term durability, and safety (GS – Safety Tested - Certificate). The TOXPROOF test mark is also awarded to products that are particularly environmentally compatible, such as those manufactured by Wenatex. The tested and TOXPROOF certified products provide the security and peace of mind that they pose no health risks.

Wenatex’s test laboratory in Austria is equipped with a quality control machine in accordance with DIN 1957 and the LGA (State Trade Agency) directives. This enables us, among other things, to perform quality tests on mattresses and regularly exchange information with the LGA Furniture Testing Institute in Nuremberg. This informal exchange enables us to compare test samples and improve product consistency.

HOLZFORSCHUNG Austria
Holzforschung Austria is an independent research and testing institution, which conducts testing and monitoring of wooden products and their production. The test and monitoring reports presented by Holzforschung Austria provide an important basis to support decisions regarding the award of the Austria Seal of Quality (OQA). Holzforschung Austria is internationally recognised and, due to their testing and monitoring activities, provides a valuable contribution toward quality assurance within the sector (Source: Holzforschung Austria)

International Oeko-Tex® Association
Confidence in textiles – this is the motto of the various independent test institutions that make up the International Oeko-Tex® Association, which perform tests concerning harmful substances in accordance with an established standard, called the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. All kinds of textile products, which are absolutely harmless to health, can receive the Oeko-Tex® Label and provide the customer with guaranteed certainty that the textile in question is a skin-friendly product. The larger and more sensitive the area of skin with which the textile comes into contact, the more stringent the human-ecological requirements that have to be met. The classification is divided up into four product classes, whereby Product Class I, which is the group under which Wenatex products are classified, is also suitable for babies and small children. “Confidence in textiles” is an international synonym for responsible textile production – from the raw material through to the finished product.

Austrian Research Institute for Chemistry and Technology (OFI)
The OFI is one of the largest testing and research institutions in Austria. The main focus of work performed at the institute relates to testing, analysis, monitoring, quality assurance and certification. The institute provides this service for internationally operating companies, such as Wenatex, as well as for numerous other organisations. A Test Report is released with the approval of the OFI as a result of its testing and certification of products. This report gives customers the assurance that the highest quality standards have been achieved. The Test Report is not to be used as a basis for decision-making. (Source: OFI)

The Institute of Ergonomics in Munich tests our SilverMed® Deluxe Mattress and the Wenaflex box spring for formfitting adaptability and optimum recumbence comfort for healthy sleep. Wenatex receives the “ergonomic recumbence comfort" certificate for both of these products.
