The Laboratório de Controle de Qualidade (LCQ) takes part in the Rede Brasileira de Calibração e Ensaios do INMETRO (Brazilian net of calibration and INMETRO tests).
They have accredited tests on salt-spray, density measurement of polyurethane foam, determination of solid content through the mass and layer thickness measurement in metallic substratum, dimension and safety evaluation, stability, resistance and durability of office chairs, cribs, bunk beds and general use chairs, summing up 69 tests.
Besides the accredited tests, the LCQ is able to carry out tests on other kinds of furniture as
plastic chairs, cabinets, tables, upholstered furniture, kitchen furniture, outside furniture, computer and office furniture, trunks as well on raw materials (particle wood, plywood, MDF), inputs (paint), accessories (handles, slideways, hinges), and others.
The Laboratory started their activities in 1988 and was awarded their certification at ISO 9001 in 1999.
It is prepared to meet the national and international demands, being their services mainly required by the South, Southeast and Northeast regions in Brazil. The last years it has been developing their own equipment to carry on the tests on furniture, based on the know-how and experience of their collaborators in the Center, besides the partnership with European Technology Centers as AIDIMA (Spain) and CATAS (Italy).
