Description

This Draft East African Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the evaluation and selection of plastic monobloc chairs for adults. _x000D_
This standard does not cover chairs intended for children and bathroom use.This East African Standard allows for two levels of performance based on the end use of the chair, domestic or commercial. The forces used are sufficient to apply to chairs intended for adult use and also to ensure that a chair meets the minimum requirements in its intended environment, but do not ensure that failure will not eventually occur either as a result of habitual misuse or after three years of service._x000D_
With the exception of the seat and back loading point determination and the seat impact test, test results are dependent on the loads being correctly applied, therefore for the remaining tests, apparatus equivalent to that listed may be used. In the case of designs not catered for in the test procedures, the test should be carried out as closely as possible to that described and deviations from the test procedure noted on the test report._x000D_
The strength and durability of the chair are determined by the application of static, impact and fatigue tests. The forces used are sufficient to allow for normal functional use. Strength and durability are detailed in Clause 4. The stability of the chair is determined by both the application of impact forces and by applying loads that could normally be encountered. Stability is detailed in Clause 5 and by tilting the chair to simulate normal functional use. The tests provide a procedure that will allow comparative analysis of the stability of various chairs under relatively fixed conditions. Chair stability is related to personal sitting habits, chair style, use conditions, floor finish and condition as well as design of the chair legs, which are variables complicating the fixing of minimum requirements. The minimum acceptance level is based on the weight and style of chair for both forwards and rearwards overturning.
