ANSI/BIFMA X5.4-2005 Lounge Seating
BIFMA, Jan 2006, Pages: 73
The material presented in this standard was developed as a result of the efforts of the members of BIFMA International and reviewed by a broad representation of interested parties, government organizations and commercial testing and procurement and interior design organizations.
This standard defines specific tests, laboratory equipment, conditions of test, and recommended minimum levels to be used in the test and evaluation of the performance, durability, and structural adequacy of lounge seating units used in offices.
The original work on this standard was completed on September 10, 1980 by the BIFMA Engineering Committee and particularly by its Subcommittee on Chair Standards. The Subcommittee conducted reviews of the proposed standard to ensure that the tests accurately describe the proper means of evaluating the safety, durability, and structural adequacy of lounge seating units and related products. The reviews produced the various test procedures that improve the procedures and provide consistency.
The proposed new standard was submitted to the membership of BIFMA International and approved on March 30, 2005. A canvass of interested parties and stakeholders was conducted in accordance with the requirements of an ANSI accredited standard. After completion of the canvass process, the standard was subsequently submitted to the American National Standards Institute for approval as an American National Standard. Approval by ANSI was given on January 30, 2006 after a thorough review of the process used by BIFMA International.
