Warranty and spare parts

Warranty: 5 years on se:motion and se:flex (product pages and shop).

Spare parts: "10-year guaranteed repairability" on chair environmental sheets.

A maker's warranty is a voluntary extra. In the EU the seller still owes you at least the two-year legal guarantee; how the two fit together.

Environmental documents and take-back

Marks and certificates named in Sedus's documents: ISO 9001 · ISO 14001 · ISO 50001 · ISO 45001 · EMAS III · SA8000 · Blauer Engel (se:flex) · Quality Office · GS · Greenguard · AGR.

EPDs: "Environmental Product Information" sheets with EN 15804 life-cycle results, described by Sedus as an internally critically reviewed LCA, not a third-party verified EPD.

Take-back and refurbishment: "Disused products are taken back by agreement."

What these labels prove, and what they don't: sustainable office chairs, by the numbers.
