CONTAINED IN VOL. 15.07, 2015 Gives nationally recognized performance requirements for Class A (residential) and Class B (nonresidential) plastic chairs for outdoor use.

1.1These requirements establish nationally recognized performance requirements for Class A (residential) and Class B (nonresidential) plastic chairs intended for outdoor use.

1.2These requirements do not address conditions that affect the performance of the chair beyond the manufacturing site.

1.3These requirements are not applicable to chaises, multipositional chairs, upholstered chairs, or other types of furniture.

1.4These requirements cover the physical performance of product regarding the aspects of outdoor weathering, impact, static load, and rear leg testing.

1.5Products may be manufactured from recycled plastics as long as the performance requirements are met.

1.6The 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.

1.7This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
