Catas will be attending interzum, the main international expo devoted to the universe of furniture industry materials and components, for the second time. The event is scheduled for May 20–23. The success of this event for the global dynamics of Catas, the most significant European testing and certification laboratory for the wood-furniture industry, has been confirmed.
Catas technicians will be in the Boulevard Central (in stand B089, between halls 4 and 10) to greet the operators who will be arriving at interzum from around the globe. They will discuss the various activities of the laboratory, with a particular emphasis on product safety issues, in light of European Regulation 2023/988, which went into effect on December 13; they will also discuss the various European “Green Deal” issues that also affect the furniture industry, such as “Ecodesign,” “digital passports” for products, and “right to repair.”
“The challenges required by a now indispensable focus on the topics of product safety and their sustainability, in the broadest sense of the term, are increasingly numerous and concretely engage companies in new territories”, noted Paolo Tirelli, director of the Italian laboratory since January 1 of this year.
“Interzum represents for us at Catas a valuable opportunity to respond to the questions of a sector in profound evolution, reaffirming our strong international vocation: not everyone may know that our laboratories collaborate with more than two thousand companies around the world, including many German companies. And it will also be an important moment to further enhance the prestigious collaborations with IHD-Institut für Holztechnologie in Dresden and WKI-Fraunhofer Institute for wood research in Braunschweig”, Tirelli ended.
