HYGIENE CERTIFICATION
In 2017 Dorelan became the first Italian company in the bedding sector to guarantee its
Customers with optimal hygiene for all its mattresses and pillows, thanks to new B&T S.p.A.
optimal hygiene assurance specifications for all phases of its production cycle: from supply,
production and transformation processes, through to packaging, shipment and delivery. The
“HYGIENE GUARANTEE FOR MATTRESSES AND PILLOWS” adds value to the already high
level of quality of our products.
LCA_LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
In 2017 Dorelan chose Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a tool for its environmental strategy.
LCA is an internationally recognised technique and regulated by the ISO 14040-14044
standards, for the correct assessment and disclosure of the environmental performance of
products. LCA analysis is useful as it guides the redesign of products to minimise their impact
and optimise the consumption of natural resources or reduce air, water or soil emissions.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Since 1999 B&T S.p.A. has been ISO 9001 certified and has conformed to the latest changes
that the quality management system requires with the new ISO 9001 edition. This method
requires a global review of the entire company's quality system and risk assessment in all
company processes with consequent reorganisation, whenever required, to ensure continuous
improvement and in turn manufacture and deliver mattresses and pillows incompliance with
the promised long term performance, safety and reliability.
CATAS LABORATORY TRIALS
Dorelan mattresses and sommiers have undergone specific laboratory tests to guarantee
their durability and firmness over time and in particular compliance with UNI EN ISO 1957
specifications on how to simulate mattress wear.
As established by this standard, parts of the mattress designed to support the bust, pelvis
and legs are subjected to the pressure of a heavy roller for 30,000 cycles to simulate actual
mattress use over approximately 10 years. Any variations in height, firmness and body support
are recorded.
The regulation also requires the testing of parts of the mattress subjected to the greatest
amount to stress when the user sits up and gets out of bed, specifically along the edge of the
mattress.
Dorelan mattresses and sommiers maintain performance and comfort requirements over time
within recommended tolerances specified by the UNI ENI ISO 1334 standard.
IMO FIRE RETARDANT CERTIFICATION
Dorelan mattresses and pillows for the naval sector guarantee fundamental safety aspects
defined by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) through the international SOLAS
convention (Safety of life at sea) as they are designed, manufactured and certified for passive
fire protection pursuant to the 2014/90/EU Directive (EUROPE) and USCG (USA) regarding
Marine Equipment, which is why they carry the "wheelmark" of conformity.
CLASS 1 IM APPROVED
All upholstered furnishings by Dorelan for accommodation facilities within the field of
application specified in italian Ministerial Decree 26.06.1984 regarding the "Reaction to Fire
Classification and categorisation for fire prevention purposes" as amended are certified fire
reaction class 1 IM by laboratories authorised by the Italian Ministry of Interior.
Fire reaction certificates issued by a Laboratory authorised by the Italian Ministry of Interior
define the degree of the tested product's participation in the fire, by subjecting a prototype
to the UNI 9175, UNI 9175/FA1 testing method.
These products are then classified according to the Italian Ministry of Interior (issued by the
Fire Emergency Department and the Central Direction of the Department of Civil Defence
for Prevention and Technical Safety Area V Passive Protection - Reaction to Fire Classification
Section) when Dorelan duly submits an application to this effect.
