Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is this equipment used for?
It evaluates a chair's ability to withstand repeated impact forces on the seat – simulating scenarios like users dropping onto the chair – to determine long-term durability and structural integrity.
Q: How does the test work?
A weighted impact head is lifted to a set height (152 mm) and released to drop onto the seat surface. The machine repeats this cycle at 10–30 times per minute for up to 99,999 cycles while you monitor the results.
Q: What standards does it comply with?
It supports BIFMA X5.1 Clause 8.4, BS 5459, EN 581-2, EN 1335, DIN 4551, and NEN 1812. Confirm your specific standard version before testing.
Q: What materials or chair types can be tested?
Office chairs, plastic chairs, and most types of seating furniture. The adjustable seat height (30–65 cm) accommodates various chair sizes and configurations.
Q: What are the power and air requirements?
It runs on AC 220V 50Hz 5A. You'll need to supply compressed air at 6 kgf/cm² – the machine doesn't include an air compressor.
Q: What's included with the machine?
The package includes impact bags, weights, and fixtures – everything you need to start testing right away.
