Standards and certification

We always put the safety and well-being of children first. That's why our products comply with the standards of the market. They are designed, tested, and innovated to meet the educational needs of children, the specificities of each establishment, and the safety rules that apply to them.

A brand committed to the world that we pass on to our children

Products that comply with the essential requirements for everyone's safety

To design products that comply with safety and well-being issues, we demonstrate rigor beyond the requirements to validate compliance tests. Our furniture, play structures, and toys are certified according to the most recognized and respected French and European standards.

These certifications highlight the commitments made by HABA Pro to honor the values of quality, requirement, and responsibility cultivated by our company since its creation. Thoroughly controlled by our factory and independent laboratories, our products meet all safety, quality, and environmental protection requirements. Control by independent laboratories, in particular, guarantees neutrality and impeccable compliance.

Within our ranges, you will find products that comply with the regulations in force in your establishment, whether it is a nursery, a school, or an IME. They meet the standards and have been designed for the children who use them and for the educational project you offer them.

HABA Pro products are carefully checked to ensure everyone's safety

Environmental considerations are at the heart of our strategy

At HABA Pro, we are convinced that we can contribute to protecting our environment by making positive changes in this area. Restoring meaning in a changing world requires a policy that takes environmental considerations into account. It means opting for a more responsible and respectful economy.

ISO standards for the environment are an official recognition of the efforts to translate our beliefs into practical actions for the planet. They value the environmental management strategy deployed by HABA Pro.

  • The ISO 14001 certificate distinguishes companies wishing to set up a production, management, and operating system that considers the environmental impacts of their activity. This concern is illustrated by actions at several levels: waste management, raw materials, and reduction of emissions.
  • The ISO 50001 standard tests the quality of our energy management system. It is aimed at organizations committed to reducing their impact on the climate, conserving resources, and improving their performance through effective energy management. The list of actions of the HABA FAMILY GROUP to reduce our energy consumption is prolonged. For example, our eco-responsible factory, certified since 2012, produces its electricity using solar energy.
  • The NF Environment certification, obtained in 2010, is a tool for recognizing the ecological quality of a product. This brand brings together companies that reduce their impact on the environment by making a concrete commitment at every stage of a product's life. Using wood from sustainably managed forests is just one example of the concrete actions we are implementing at HABA Pro to pursue our environmental strategy.
  • The PEFC label. Affixed to wood (or wood-based products, such as paper or cardboard), the PEFC label guarantees that you buy a product from responsible sources and contribute to sustainable forest management. Sustainable forest management means considering its environmental, societal, and economic dimensions. A mission that PEFC accomplishes every day, to which you contribute when you buy a HABA Pro product.

Our certifications reflect our environmental considerations.

We focus on quality and the long term.

At HABA Pro, we are committed to the long term. In contrast to planned obsolescence, we design products that stand the test of time and children. Sustainability is a leitmotif we have in mind when designing a product down to the smallest detail or determining what and how it will be made with.

To design sustainable products, we rely on natural, healthy, and robust materials whose transformation we control. Selected for their high quality, they are distinguished by the extra soul of natural materials and their durability over time.

Some of our certifications attest to the origin and quality of the materials we manufacture for our furniture, games, and toys. They also affirm that HABA Pro has chosen qualitative and sustainable manufacturing processes.

  • Oeko-Tex certifications certify the non-toxicity of the textiles and dyes we use to design our products. In particular, they guarantee the quality of our fabric and foam materials.
  • We only use water-based, solvent-free pigmented paints and shades. Our natural hues penetrate the pores of the wood deep to prevent flaking, and the wood’s natural grain remains visible. The surface of the wood is then varnished two times, making the wood very scratch-resistant and, therefore, ideal for intensive daily use.
  • Beyond compliance with all safety standards in force, the ISO 9001 certificate ensures the regularity of quality related to the manufacturing processes. This official certification values the Quality Management System implemented by HABA Pro. Our quality approach is reflected in a series of policies and procedures governing how we create and distribute our products. Concretely, it is illustrated by the implementation of a system focused in particular on the satisfaction of customer requirements, continuous improvement, and the involvement of the hierarchy and our employees.
