Provide ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 testing and certification for American office chair standards.

One-Stop Testing, Globally Accepted

Standard: ANSI/BIFMA X5.1-2002

Suitable for: All chairs with casters installed on the base.

Test Nature: Evaluates the durability of office chair casters under load during movement. Includes both obstacle and obstacle-free test methods.

Test Object: Combination of the chair base (e.g., five-star base) and casters.

Test Procedure: The chair base and caster assembly, under a 225 lb load, is driven externally to move the casters over a 762 mm travel path at a speed of 8-12 CPM. The test involves 2,000 cycles with obstacles and 98,000 cycles without obstacles to assess caster durability.

Features: — Compact structural design, one cylinder performs four tests simultaneously, reducing footprint and balancing stress; stainless steel sand plate sliding table, elegant and durable; tool-free clamping, simple and convenient; multiple instruments monitor the test.
