ANSI/BIFMA S6.5-2008 SOHO
BIFMA, Aug 2008, Pages: 85
The material presented in this standard was developed as a result of the efforts of BIFMA International members and reviewed by a broad representation of interested parties including manufacturers, suppliers, commercial testing laboratories, procurement organizations and users.
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 storage and desk-type furniture intended for use in the small office and/or home office.
The original work on this standard was completed in 2000 by the BIFMA Engineering Committee and particularly by its Subcommittee on Small Office/Home Office Products. The Subcommittee conducts routine reviews of the standard to ensure that the tests accurately describe the proper means of evaluating the safety, durability, and structural adequacy of storage and desk-type furniture products intended for use in the small office and/or home office. The reviews produced revisions and/or additions to the various test procedures that improve the procedures and provide consistency. The most recent revisions were submitted to the membership of BIFMA International and approved in 2007. A canvass of interested parties and stakeholders was conducted in accordance with the requirements of an ANSI accredited standards developer. 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 August 4, 2008.
