17、-2:2009EN 1335-2:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 1335 specifies the mechanical safety requirements for office work chairs. The requirements are based upon use for 8 h a day by persons weighing up to 110 kg. For more severe conditions of use, increased requirements will be necessary. Annex A (norm
18、ative) includes loads, masses and cycles for safety tests. Additional loads, masses and cycles for functional tests can be found in EN 1335-3:2009, Annex C. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only th
19、e edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

20、 EN 12529:1998, Castors and wheels Castors for furniture Castors for swivel chairs Requirements 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 castor assembly comprising a housing, one or more wheels, an axle and, if required, accessories EN
21、 12529:1998 4 Safety requirements 4.1 General design requirements 4.1.1 Corners and edges, trapping, pinching and shearing The chair shall be so designed as to minimise the risk of injury to the user. All parts of the chair with which the user comes into contact during intended use, shall be so desi
22、gned that physical injury and damage to property are avoided. These requirements are met when: a) the safety distance of accessible movable parts is either 8 mm or 25 mm in any position during movement; b) accessible corners are rounded with minimum 2 mm radius; BS EN 1335-2:2009EN 1335-2:2009 (E) 5
23、 c) the edges of the seat, back rest and arm rests which are in contact with the user when sitting in the chair are rounded with minimum 2 mm radius; d) the edges of handles are rounded with minimum 2 mm radius in the direction of the force applied; e) all other edges are free from burrs and rounded
24、 or chamfered; f) the ends of accessible hollow components are closed or capped. 4.1.2 Adjusting devices Movable and adjustable parts shall be designed so that injuries and inadvertent operation are avoided. It shall be possible to operate the adjusting devices from sitting position in the chair. 4.
25、1.3 Connections It shall not be possible for any load bearing part of the chair to come loose unintentionally. 4.1.4 Avoidance of soiling All parts which are lubricated to assist sliding (greasing, lubricating, etc.) shall be designed to protect users from lubricant stains when in normal use. 4.2 Te
26、st sequence The same chair shall be tested in the following sequence: a) stability tests (optional); b) rolling resistance test (optional); c) seat and back rest tests; d) foot rest static load test; e) arm rests durability test; f) arm rest downward static load test - central (see Table A.2, Footno
27、te a); g) stability tests; h) arm rest downward static load test - central (see Table A.2, Footnote b); i) rolling resistance test. BS EN 1335-2:2009EN 1335-2:2009 (E) 6 4.3 Stability during use The chair shall not overbalance under the following conditions: a) by pressing down on the front edge of
28、the seat surface in the most adverse position; b) by leaning out over the arm rests; c) by leaning against the back rest; d) by sitting on the front edge. Requirement a) is fulfilled if the chair does not overbalance when tested according to 7.1.1 of EN 1335-3:2009 with the forces and numbers of cyc
29、les according to Table A.1 of this standard. Requirements b) and d) are fulfilled if the chair does not overbalance when tested according to 7.1.2, 7.1.3, 7.1.4 and 7.1.5 of EN 1335-3:2009 with the forces and numbers of cycles according to Table A.1 of this standard. Requirement c) is fulfilled if t
30、he chair does not overbalance when tested according to 7.1.6 or 7.1.7 of EN 1335-3:2009 with the forces and numbers of cycles according to Table A.1 of this standard. 4.4 Rolling resistance of the unloaded chair The unloaded chair shall not roll unintentionally. This requirement is met when: a) the
31、castors are of identical construction; b) the rolling resistance is 12 N when tested according to EN 1335-3:2009, 7.4. 4.5 Strength and durability The chair shall be constructed to ensure that it does not create a risk of injury to the user of the chair under the following conditions: a) sitting on
32、the seat, both centrally and off-centre; b) moving forward, backwards, and sideways while sitting in the chair; c) leaning over the arm rests; d) pressing down on the arm rests while getting up from the chair. These requirements are fulfilled when after the tests specified in 7.2.1, 7.2.2, 7.2.6, 7.
33、3.1 and 7.3.2 of EN 1335-3:2009 with the forces and numbers of cycles according to Table A.2 of this standard: e) there are no fractures of any member, joint or component, and f) there is no loosening of joints intended to be rigid, and g) no major structural element is significantly deformed and th
34、e chair fulfils its functions after removal of the test loads and when: BS EN 1335-2:2009EN 1335-2:2009 (E) 7 h) after the test in 7.2.3 of EN 1335-3:2009 with the forces and numbers of cycles according to Table A.2 of this standard, the arm rests show no fracture. 5 Information for use Each chair s
