Since 1988, skin compatibility for skin-coloured nora® products has been confirmed by the Fresenius Institute in regular and comprehensive tests and studies. These products bear the Fresenius seal of approval ”Geprüfte Hautverträglichkeit” (“Tested quality compatible with the skin”).

Regular inspections by Fresenius guarantee maximum safety.

This pollutant test mark for our industry is granted by various approved test institutes on the basis of intensive material analyses. The SG package acknowledges not only the analysis of legally prescribed parameters but also e.g. that no carcinogenic amines were detected. Numerous nora® products are tested and certified in line with the SG list of criteria.

Products used by orthopaedic shoe engineers and orthopaedic technicians to make medical products must conform to these statutory requirements. The SG plus Seal of Approval enhances and develops the requirements of the long-standing SG seal to include microbial and physical testing as well as inspection of our production facilities.

Extension of the eco-label ‘Schadstoffgeprüft (SG)’ by:

• Your asset of quality: Tested wear behaviour and stability of nora® products through dynamic long-term stress tests.
• Your asset of hygiene: Proven disinfectability of contaminated foot beddings and inserts made of nora® materials.
• Your asset of safety: Apart from the materials, the production sites as well as the production processes of nora® products in Weinheim are regularly examined and certified.

And finally, the in-house quality assurance measures taken are supplemented by checks performed by the Freudenberg Forschungsdienste KG, which is an independent laboratory accredited and certified pursuant to DIN EN ISO 9001. Thus, chemical-physical tests are regularly performed e.g. on raw materials and finished products.
