How it works
From your systems to a verified passport.
Norruva reads your bill of materials and certificates, validates against the furniture model, and publishes a passport that documents how each piece comes apart.
Connect your data
Pull the data you already hold from the systems you already run — no re-keying.
Validate against the model
The sector template checks every required field and flags gaps before anything is published.
Anchor & publish
Norruva anchors the passport and resolves it from the product’s QR or Digital Link, with a full audit trail.

Common questions
Questions furniture teams ask.
Is furniture covered by the ESPR?
Yes — furniture is a named priority product group. Detailed requirements arrive via delegated act; Norruva keeps your data aligned as they're finalised.
What does “designed for disassembly” capture?
The record documents how a piece comes apart, what each component is made of, and where it goes next — the basis for repair, resale and recycling.
What material data do we need?
Material content and origin, recycled share, and substances of concern. Certified sources such as FSC are recorded as evidence.
How does the passport support resale?
Verified provenance and durability travel with the piece, so a second owner or refurbisher can trust its history.
