Clause Test item Verdict
a) Based on the table type, calculate the Normal (Functional) force A as follows [not to exceed
445 N (100 lbf)]:
Tables with a total surface area greater than 0.46 m
2
(5 ft.
2
) and 610 mm (24 in) in height:
A = 0.5 x (unit weight, kg) x 9.8 + 222N
A = 0.5 x (unit weight, lb.) + 50 lbf
All other types:
A = 0.5 x (unit weight, kg) x 9.8 + 44N
A = 0.5 x (unit weight, lb.) + 10 lbf
b) Calculate the Normal (Functional) Force “B” as (0.5 x A).
Individually and separately apply the Normal (Functional) horizontal forces A and B).
No loss of serviceability shall occur as a result of the application of the Normal (Functional) loads.
Proof:
a) Calculate the Abnormal (Proof) Forces A [not to exceed 668 N (150 lbf)] and B as follows:
Proof Force A = 1.5 x (Functional Force A)
Proof Force B = 1.5 x (Functional Force B)
b) Repeat the testing as shown in the Normal (Functional) Test Procedure, but with the Abnormal
(Proof) loads.
Application of the Abnormal (Proof) loads shall cause no sudden and major change in the structural
integrity of the product. Loss of function is acceptable.

Test for Tables with Casters
This test applies to all tables with casters.
Apply a 39 kg (85 lb.) load to the primary surface. The load shall be applied through a 305 mm (12
in.) diameter disk centered on the table.
Set the cycling device to operate at a rate of 10 ± 2 cycles per minute. One cycle consists of a
forward, then a backward stroke of the machine.
Cycle the table unit for 2,500 cycles.
There shall be no loss of serviceability to a caster or the table.

Stability Tests
The stability tests shall be performed on all types of chairs exclude chaise lounge chair.
Note: Rearward stability tests apply only to chairs with backrests greater than 200 mm (7.9 in.) in
height as measured with the BIFMA CMD.

18.4.1
Rear stability – Type III chairs
For chairs with adjustable features, all adjustments shall be set at the apparent least stable condition
for rearward stability.
Load the apparent least stable seat of one of the seating positions with 6 disks.
Apply a horizontal force to the highest disk. The location of the force application is 6 mm (0.25 in.)
from the top of the disk.
a) For chairs with seat height (as measured at the front of the bottom of the lowest disk when all
disks are in the chair) less than 710 mm (28.0 in.), calculate the force as follows:
F = 0.1964 x (1195 – H) Newton. H is the seat height in mm.
[F = 1.1 x (47 – H) pounds force.]. H is the seat height in inches.
b) b) For chairs with seat height equal to or greater than 710 mm (28.0 in.), a fixed force of 93 N
(20.9 lbf) shall be applied.
The chair shall not tip over.

F=39.05 lbs.
18.4.2
Rear stability test – Type I and II chairs
On chairs with adjustable features, all adjustments shall be set at the apparent least stable condition
for rearward stability.
Load the chair with 13 disks.
The chair shall not tip over.
NA
18.5
Front stability
On units with adjustable features, all adjustments shall be set at the apparent least stable condition
for forward stability.
