DIN 68878 Chairs for Living Area - Performance Characteristics - Requirements and Test Methods

In the standard "DIN 68878 Chairs for living spaces - Performance characteristics - Requirements and test methods" developed by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), the performance characteristics and requirements for chairs used in living spaces and not fixed to the floor are explained and test methods are defined. However, this standard does not apply to children's high chairs, folding chairs and chairs used outside residences. This standard includes requirements for functional dimensions as well as performance characteristics and test methods.

Probably one of the biggest differences between home furniture designed for the living space and commercial furniture is its purpose. While home furniture is produced for use in homes, commercial furniture is produced for use in commercial areas. There are height and size differences between these two furniture classes.

The demand for new furniture designs, existing product ranges and sustainable alternatives is increasing. As this demand continues to increase, furniture manufacturers need methods that will not only ensure the safety and quality of their products but also differentiate themselves from the competition.

High quality design of both internal and external features of furniture products demonstrates commitment to quality and safety for added value and customer confidence. However, customers rely on reputable test marks when choosing the best product for their individual needs. In this regard, comprehensive furniture tests and certification in accordance with national and international standards provided by advanced laboratories are important.

Naturally, the performance features of the chairs used in the living space attract attention. Essentially, the properties of a chair can be classified as physical and chemical. The color, shape, dimensions and weight of the chair are the physical characteristics of the chair. These properties can be observed and changed without affecting the chemical composition of the chair. But the flammability of a chair is a chemical property. Flammability describes the chair's ability to chemically react and burn when exposed to fire.
