U.S. – BIFMA releases Large Occupant Office Chair Standard

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Business + Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA) recently released a new voluntary standard for “large occupant” office seating: ANSI/BIFMA X5.11-2015, General-Purpose Large Occupant Office Chairs. This test standard was developed for manufacturers, specifiers and users to evaluate the safety, durability and structural performance of office chairs for large occupants. The standard is based on a 400-pound user and the amount of force the user would exert on the furniture.

Large occupant office chairs are normally used in an office environment and may include, but are not limited to, seating styles typically referred to as: executive/management, task/secretarial, side/guest chairs and stacking chairs.
