Hallmark – Products
All of Magista’s cabinets, shelving systems and all other products comply with various hallmarks in the Netherlands and Germany. Those hallmarks officially confirm the quality, safety and sustainability of the Magista products. To obtain these hallmarks, the products must pass a number of tests. During these tests, which are implemented by independent inspection bodies, it is checked whether the products comply with the applicable requirements related to bearing capacity, safety, finishing and many other aspects. Magista itself also continuously tests its own products. For example, we subject all our storage systems for museums and depositories to the so-called ODDY-test.
