本标准旨在为制造商、规范制定者和用户提供一个共同的基础 用于评估通用办公椅的安全性、耐久性和结构充分性。 通用办公椅通常用于办公环境，可能包括但不限于 不限于通常被称为:高管/管理层、， 工作椅/秘书椅、侧椅/宾客椅、嵌套折叠椅、平板电脑扶手椅和凳子。本标准描述了评估通用办公椅的方法，独立于 建筑材料、制造工艺、机械设计或美学设计。 本标准不涉及休息室座椅、易燃性、表面材料耐久性、， 缓冲材料、产品排放或人体工程学考虑。 本标准规定了具体的试验、可能使用的实验室设备和条件 以及用于评估通用办公室的最低验收水平 椅子。本标准中给出的验收水平和试验参数基于 BIFMA成员的实际现场使用和测试经验。在适当的情况下 2007-2010年健康和营养检查调查（NHANES）研究表明 第95百分位男性的体重为125公斤（275磅），用于开发 测验。这并不意味着权重高于参考百分位的用户不能 安全或舒适地使用根据给定BIFMA标准开发的椅子。（另见附录E）。 这些测试是根据单个产品开发的，预计产品寿命为10年- 转移 用法产品寿命将受到用户尺寸/重量、产品使用、保养和维护的影响， 环境和其他因素，因此，产品是否符合本标准并不重要 必须保证十年的产品寿命。本标准中的测试仅用于评估新产品的性能。他们 不用于评估已使用的产品。ISO 17025测量不确定度要求不适用于本标准。

This standard is intended to provide manufacturers, specifiers, 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 used 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 chairs, nesting folding chairs, tablet arm chairs 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 emissions, or ergonomic considerations.The standard defines specific tests, the laboratory equipment that may be used, the conditions of tests, and the minimum acceptance levels to be used in evaluating general-purpose office chairs. The acceptance levels and 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 the 95th percentile male is 125 kg (275 pounds), was used in the development of the tests. This does not mean that users with weights above the percentiles referenced cannot safely or comfortably use a chair developed to a given BIFMA standard. (See also Appendix E). The tests were developed with an estimated product life of ten years based on single-shift usage. Product life will be affected by user size/weight, product use, care and maintenance, environment, and other factors, and, as such, product compliance to this standard does not necessarily guarantee a ten-year product life.The tests in this standard are intended to assess the performance of new products only. They are not intended to assess a product that has been in use.ISO 17025 requirements for measurement uncertainty do not apply to this standard.
