Certification
We Set the Highest Standards
Our high performance products have been specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s customer.
At Symphony, we are acutely aware of the need to minimise our carbon footprint and the impact our activities have on future generations and as such we have invested in technology to maximise energy efficiently and source sustainable materials.
Quality Assurance
We were the first company in our industry to gain the quality assurance accreditation BS 9002 Part 2 and ISO 9001-2008. Quality management processes are all about continuous improvement, review and development. Symphony was awarded this certification in recognition of the quality and consistency of its production and control systems.
Environmental Assurance
We have been awarded the ISO14001: 2015 standard for our Environmental Management System for which we are audited twice a year. We were the first company in the industry to attain the previous 2004 standard BS EN ISO14001: 2004 for recognising and controlling the effects of manufacturing on the environment.
Accredited member of FIRA
Symphony is a fully accredited member of FIRA, the Furniture Industry Research Association. This certificate shows that we comply with all comprehensive text and ongoing auditing procedures.
Symphony is a recipient of the FIRA Gold Award which is the ultimate mark of product excellence within the furniture industry. This award provides a solid reassurance that a product meets all necessary standards.
