Nidalys : safety first and foremost

 

At the same time, the marketing department carries out consumer surveys and market research in order to respond as well as possible to customer expectations and market developments.
The quality of Nidalys products is also reflected in their cardboard packaging, designed to be very resistant and protect the products right up to the final consumer.

TEST PERFORMED

In a first time, Nidalys utilizes external laboratories to check the safety and the respect of the standards of each range’s gate or accessory.
These laboratories control the products quality and safety to check they don’t present any risk for children according to the European Union’s standards.

 

The tests done internally at Nidalys are done after conformity validation of the product by the laboratories. Then we check that all the products and productions remain in compliance with the definition established by the laboratory.
