BIFMA Performance Mark

Overview

With our BIFMA Performance Certification Program, products are carefully selected and subjected to durability and strength testing efforts in only accredited laboratories. This results in a well-recognized certification Mark, along with annual follow-up testing that helps detect changes in your supply chain that could affect product performance. Our certification program allows for testing over and above BIFMA standards, up to 25 percent more, enabling you to demonstrate greater product strength and build trust among your international customers and purchasing representatives.
