Quality of the Wooden Products for Design and Equipping Educational Institutions

Equipping educational institutions with quality and contemporarily designed furniture and equipment is a serious problem in Croatia. There are many inconsistencies and the quality of furniture and equipment is rather low (e.g. dimensions, materials, etc). All these problems are partially a consequence of inadequate technical descriptions and lack of quality attributed to the products in use, especially in cases where companies bid on public tenders. With the aim to improve the conditions for equipping educational institutions with furniture and equipment, a team of experts at the Department of furniture and wood products of the Faculty of Forestry in Zagreb published the Manual for Wood Products Quality for Educational Institutions in the framework of the project entitled Wood Is Good. The intention of the Manual is to stimulate and introduce high-quality furniture, equipment, construction products as well as other wooden products into the public procurement system, actively involve architects and designers in the production and motivate responsible methods for monitor and control production and delivery of wood products for equipping educational institutions. The authors believe that this document can serve as the platform for interdisciplinary analysis of various problems related to equipping educational institutions and preserving health of users.
