1.1These performance requirements cover nationally recognized performance requirements for multipositional plastic chairs, with adjustable backs or reclining mechanisms, intended for outdoor use.

1.2These performance requirements are not applicable to chaise lounges, upholstered chairs, or other types of furniture.

1.3These performance requirements cover the performance of the product regarding aspects of outdoor weathering, impact, static load for seat and back, and arm testing.

1.4Products Manufactured from Recycled Plastics—Products may be manufactured from recycled plastics as long as the performance requirements are met.

1.5The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.6This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
