EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1335-1 testing. This part of EN 1335 applies to office desk chairs. This standard specifies the dimensions of three types of chairs and test methods for their determination.
Working conditions and the protection of office workers in terms of safety and health require these standards to take into account ergonomic principles and minimum requirements. These workstations should be designed to allow different users to perform a variety of work tasks.
Dimensions in this standard are based on anthropometric measurements, mechanical design subjective preference, and other factors. The purpose of this standard is to provide dimensions for office work chairs that can accommodate a larger portion of the European population. Due to the wide variation in population sizes and other body sizes, there will be size differences in office populations between each country. Persons with body sizes outside of this range may need different sizes of furniture or adaptations to existing workstations, eg. a footrest.
The purpose of well-designed seating is to provide stable support that allows movement, comfort, and the performance of tasks. Along with the work content and the design of other furniture items, seating design plays an important role in promoting movement. Therefore, the seat design should allow for frequent postural changes of the user to avoid muscle stress and circulatory problems.
The rule for deciding whether a result is congruent is when the measured value is within the requirement (i.e. less than or equal to an upper limit, greater than or equal to a lower limit), regardless of measurement uncertainty.
