The standard is intended to provide manufacturers, and users with a common basis for evaluating the safety, durability, and structural adequacy of general-purpose office chairs. General-purpose office chairs are normally use in an office environment and may include, but are not limited to those seating styles typically referred to as: executive/management, task/secretarial, side/guest chair, nesting folding chairs, tablet arm chair and stools. This standard describes the means of evaluating general purpose office chairs, independent of construction materials, manufacturing processes, mechanical designs or aesthetic designs. This standard does not address lounge seating, flammability, surface material durability, cushioning materials, product emission, or ergonomic considerations. The standard defines specific tests, the laboratory equipment that may be used, this condition of tests, and the minimum acceptance levels to be used in evaluating general purpose office chairs. The acceptance levels and the test parameters given in this standard are based on the actual field use and test experience of BIFMA members. Where appropriate, the national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES) 2007-2010 study, which indicates the weight of 95th percentile male is 125KG (275 pounds) was used in the development of the test. This does not means that users with weights above the percentiles referenced cannot safely or comfortably use a chair developed to a given BIFMA standard. The test was developed with an estimated product life of ten years based on single-shift usage. Product life will be affected by the user size/weight, product use, care and maintenance, environment and others factors and as product compliance to this standard does not necessarily guarantee a ten years product life. The tests in this standard are intended to access the performance of the new products only. They are not intended to access a product that has been in use.
