Abstract

This Standard provides manufacturers of plastic monobloc chairs with test methods to ensure that such chairs are safe, reliable and suitable for adult persons up to 135 kg in mass.

Scope

This Standard sets out test methods for determining the strength and durability, stability, resistance to UV radiation and weathering, and ignitability of upright plastic monobloc chairs. The types of monobloc chair covered by this Standard are those designed primarily for single occupant use, for an adult population of users, and configured with four legs, a seat and a backrest.
This Standard is appropriate for chairs with seat heights between 400 mm and 600 mm
(as measured at the seat loading point) and for chairs with upright backs [30 degrees or less off vertical as determined using the chair loading position template (see Figure A1)].
Stools, or chairs with pedestal, sled, cantilever, panel or similar base configurations, are not covered by this Standard.
NOTE: ISO 17025 requirements for reporting uncertainty do not apply when determining conformance to this Standard.
