MAS Certified Chairs - What it means to be Green

MAS Certified Green®

‍

You might have noticed that all of Seating Inc.’s products are MAS Certified Green®. What does this Green Certification mean exactly?

MAS Certified Green® means our products have been rigorously tested, and certified to comply with stringent indoor air quality standards. For you, this means that buying Seating Inc. chairs is an environmentally friendly and safe purchasing decision.

To get technical for a moment, MAS Certified Green® also means compliance with the criteria of the ANSI/BIFMA X7.1-2011 (R2021) and e3-2019 Furniture Sustainability Standards and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method v1.2(2017) when modeled for use in offices and classroom settings. It means we also meet the requirements of LEED v4.1, and the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) EQ C6.1.4 Administrative and Teacher Seating and Classroom Seating for low VOC-emitting products.
