| Technical purpose of product or process | The Focus R4 chair is designed to provide balanced and high seating comfort for one or multiple users who need to sit comfortably for extended periods. Its self-shaping backrest in the RelActive system, combined with a wide seat and a unique knee-tilt mechanism, ensures an ergonomic working position. This combination of relaxation support and movement keeps you alert during both long and short work shifts. The Focus R4 is perfect for today’s activity-based work environments where focused work in a different space is often required. With the Focus R4, you can quickly settle into the chair, and with just a few adjustments, you will experience excellent support for long work sessions. The knee-tilt mechanism offers a unique balance, significantly enhancing the freedom of movement in the chair. The self-molding backrest and the seat's gently rounded, beveled front encourage movement, promote blood circulation, and reduce pressure on nerves and blood vessels in the knees, allowing you to focus undisturbed for an entire workday if needed. The Focus R4 is available in two versions: one with a high backrest and one with a medium-height backrest, ensuring support for various needs. The model studied in this declaration is the Malmstolen Focus R4 (R4H), including packaging. The model declared does not include any options or accessories. The key environmental indicators for the other models of the family, and applicable options of the product collection are presented in a table on page 12 of this declaration |

| General comment on data set | Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. They represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on registered EPDs according to EN 15804, Ostfold Research databases, ecoinvent and other LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances. |
