For Magis, quality is not an abstract concept,
but rather, a tangible value that permeates all
aspects of the company and its products, as
well as a sign of true responsibility towards
people and the environment.
Magis’ quality management system is ISO 9001
certified from 2004, proving that it is constantly
improving and always in line with consumer
expectations. Safety at work and compliance
with environmental legislation are ISO 14001
certified from 2007. This international standard
requires that not only Magis itself, but also
by its suppliers and local institutions take a
sustainable
approach,
constantly
working
to keep reducing pollution and limiting the
consumption of resources.
Magis products are tested for resistance,
safety and durability in line with both European
(EN) and American standards (ANSI/BIFMA).
In addition to these credentials, a number of
products can also boast further international
certification, including: the FSC® environmental
certification, which guarantees that wooden
components
have
been
sourced
from
responsibly
managed
woodland,
thus
protecting
precious
natural
resources
and
biodiversity;
and
GreenGuard
Gold
certification, which assures that the product is
suitable for use in schools, hospitals and other
communal spaces, thanks to its extremely low
emissions of volatile organic compounds. The
resistance of the packaging for some Magis
products is also certified to standards ISTA
3A and 3B, guaranteeing that the contents will
remain intact throughout the shipping process,
wherever in the world they are sent.
