Clause Test item Verdict
There shall be no loss of serviceability.
Proof load:
Repeat setup as in the Normal (Functional) test and increase the weight of the test bag to an
Abnormal (Proof) load of 136 kg (300 lb.).
The test bag shall be raised 152 mm (6 in.) above the uncompressed seat and released one time.
Then remove the bag.
Repeat setup and proof procedures for each remaining seating position on the same sample.
There shall be no sudden and major change in the structural integrity of the chair. Loss of
serviceability is acceptable.

Seating Durability Tests – Cyclic
This test applies to all chairs.
A 2-inch thick foam block shall be added to the top of the seat.
A test bag weighing 57 kg (125 lb.) shall be attached to a cycling device, permitting a free fall from
30 mm (1.2 in.) above the uncompressed seat.
The cycling device shall be set at a rate between 10 and 30 cycles per minute.
For Multiple Seating, all seats not being cycled shall be loaded with 109 kg (240 lb.) of weight per
seat.
For Multiple Seating, each seat on the same sample shall be subjected to the test.
The chair shall be tested to 10,000 cycles.
For Safety Level – Stage 1: there shall be no loss of serviceability to the chair after completion of the
impact test.
For Safety Level – Stage 2 or Performance Level (Stage 3): the product must not show sudden and
major change in structural integrity after completion of the impact test. The product can show minor
damage or loss of serviceability.
NA

Arm Strength Test – Vertical – Static
This test applies to all chaise lounge chairs with arms.
Functional load:
A force of 750 N (169 lbf) shall be applied for one (1) minute then remove the force.
There shall be no loss of serviceability. For a height adjustable arm, failure to hold its height
adjustment position to within 6 mm (0.25 in.) from its original set position as the result of the loading
is considered a loss of serviceability.
Proof load:
A force of 1125 N (253 lbf) shall be applied for one (1) minute then remove the force.
There shall be no sudden and major change in the structural integrity of the chair. For a height
adjustable arm, a sudden drop in height of greater than 25 mm (1 in.) does not meet this
requirement. Loss of serviceability is acceptable.
NA
36
Arm Strength Test – Horizontal – Static
This test applies to all chaise lounge chairs with arms.
Functional load:
A force of 445 N (100 lbf) shall be applied for one (1) minute in the outward direction and remove the
force.
A Normal (Functional) load applied once shall cause no loss of serviceability.
Proof load:
A force of 667 N (150 lbf) shall be applied for one (1) minute in the outward direction and remove the
force.
An Abnormal (Proof) load applied once shall cause no sudden and major change in the structural
integrity of the unit. Loss of serviceability is acceptable.
NA
