The RAL Emissions Label provides consumers with information on pollutant emissions and is intended to protect them from health risks. The German Furniture Quality Association (Deutsche Gütegemeinschaft Möbel e. V.) has awarded the entire collection (cabinet furniture) from nolte Küchen the highest emissions class (A).

“Furniture Made in Germany”—according to RAL registration 0191, this means that the design, assembly, and quality inspection take place in Germany. In addition, the manufacturing process relevant to quality must be carried out primarily in Germany.

Awarded the “Golden M,” a RAL quality mark granted by the German Furniture Quality Association. To qualify, manufacturers and furniture are inspected by independent experts. The assessment focuses on the quality of the furniture—durability and stability—as well as safety, health, and environmental aspects that ensure a healthy living environment.

Our kitchens undergo an internal quality assurance process and are also inspected by independent experts. To this end, every five years, certain product lines and items are tested by TÜV Rheinland for quality and safety in accordance with the standards of the German Production Safety Act.

This certificate from TÜV Rheinland attests to our efficient quality management and ensures the quality of our products and services. The seal stands for well-designed work processes that are specifically optimized for the development, manufacture, and distribution of kitchens.

With the energy management system based on DIN EN ISO 50001, we can demonstrably improve our company’s energy efficiency and thereby reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
